How To Add/Edit Pre Course Material And Configure Your Default Pre Course Setting

Within our LMS, adding/editing a pre-course material and setting it as the default option can be done with just a handful of steps that requires little to no effort. 

This feature is extremely convenient and time-saving for an Organisation or RTO that consistently uses the same pre-course material for multiple courses. With a default pre course material in place, the system will automatically load the same material whenever you create a course. Yet, the option to change the material and even disable the entire feature will remain available should you choose to do so.

In this article, we will cover the following points.

Steps to follow for adding/editing pre course material.

Step 1 - Sign in to your Nimbu account.

Step 2 - Click on the Content option from the sidebar of your dashboard to access a drop-down menu.

Step 3 -  From the drop-down menu, select Pre Training, and it will take you to the page where you can create your pre course material.

Step 10 - To capture your students' agreement for your uploaded material, switch on the toggle button below the delete button and write your agreement declaration within the designated area.

You can make the agreement mandatory for your students by clicking the small box beside "Agreement is mandatory."
