Manage Events and Sessions

Events are instructor-led training courses that contain general information about the course, such as the description, the objectives, the vendor, and the subjects. Because there are typically many instances of one course held at different times and locations by different instructors, every event can occur at a variety of times and places. In the system, these scheduled instances of an event are referred to as sessions. Events do contain some default session information, such as the course prerequisites, the course evaluation, and the registration procedures, but these defaults may be modified at the session level.

Creating events allows ILT Administrators to avoid re-inventing the wheel every time a new instance of the same course must be scheduled. The Event remains the constant so that the administrator has the flexibility to schedule and repeat the same learning experience an indefinite number of times, without ever re-entering the basic course information.

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.

Helpful Hints - Event Availability

  • Events which are not available to users will not be visible to users.
  • The availability of an event becomes the default availability of sessions within the event, but availability may be overridden at the session level.
  • Users may search for sessions that are available to them for an event that is not available to them by using the Events Calendar.
