The table method uses a table layout to display courses and
allows you to add and edit course Lesson Plans. Building a course with the
table method creates the same data as the visual method (see “Build Courses –
Visual Method”), only the screens and techniques are different. The end result
is the same – a complete course ready to schedule.
The first step in defining a FlexTraining course is to build
a lesson plan. A lesson plan is a high-level course definition, with all the
parameters that distinguish one course from another. You will use the lesson
plan as the basis for all the course content items that follow.
When you use the table method, you tell FlexTraining how
many sections, tests, course guide chapters and assignments you will have in
your course. Then you use the on-screen table to assemble the actual “pieces”
that make up the course.
