Icon_Katalogeinträge verwalten.png To be easily found by learners, your course should be included in a meaningful catalogue structure. To do this, the learning platform provides a separate area called catalogue .

To add the course to the catalogue, you have two options:

If the course is not (yet) available in the catalogue, learners can alternatively find it using the search function . Learners who are already enrolled in a course group will also find the course resource in the Teach & Learn section under My courses - Active.

With the release of OPAL 11.4, the function for managing course catalogue entries has become available in the new user interface. How to add catalogue entries in the old user interface using the detailed view will be explained in the section Add resource to catalogue.

 

View existing course catalogue entries

If there are already catalogue references, you can view them in the following places in the learning platform:

In the course settings 

In the course view, select the entry Manage catalogue entries from the Icon_zweiRädchen.png more settings menu. Existing references will be displayed at the top of the opening dialogue  Catalogue entries .

Directly in the course view

Click on the top entry in the left navigation pane of the opened course. This entry is generally identical to the course title. In the middle area of the page, general information such as visible course supervisors and the course description will now be displayed. Catalogue entries and other additional information will become visible when clicking on the Display more information link.
