Course Catalog - General - Pre-Work

Pre-work is only available for online course, quick course, material, test, and video LOs. This section enables administrators to set pre-work. Pre-work should be completed prior to completing this LO. Note: Pre-work is also available for sessions via Manage Events & Sessions.

Design Note: An updated interface is available for this page, which can be enabled by administrators in Feature Activation Preferences. With the new design, the functionality of the page is unchanged.

To add pre-work to a training item, go to Admin > Tools > Learning > Catalog Management > Course Catalog. Search for the training item to which you want to add pre-work and click the Options drop-down next to the item. Select the Edit option. Pre-work is added on the General page of the Course Catalog.
