Default Course Description Settings

The Default Course Description Settings page allows you to define standard values that will automatically appear every time you create a new course. By pre-filling these fields, you:

    Ensure Consistency: Maintain a uniform naming and coding style across your entire course catalog. Save Time: Eliminate the need to type the same repetitive information (like passing grades or cost) for every individual course. Reduce Errors: Prevent mistakes in critical settings like credit values or ID formats.

      These fields help the system and the users identify and categorize your courses easily:

        Name: The full title of the course. Setting a default prefix helps group similar courses.
        Example: Set it to "Tech Training:" so every new course starts with that title.

        Code: A short, shorthand identifier for quick searching.
        Example: Set a prefix like "TECH-" so your courses are automatically coded as TECH-001, TECH-002, etc.

          ID Number: A unique internal batch number.
          Example: Use a year-based format like "2026-ID-" to batch when courses were added.

          Description: The main summary of the course. You can leave a template or instructions here to guide course creators.

          Use these fields to establish the "standard" rules for your institution’s learning content:

            Length Description and Duration: Define the general timeframe.
            You can set a default label like "Self-paced" or a specific number of days/hours.

            Credits: If your institution uses a credit-based system, you can set a standard workload value here.

            Completion Grade: A critical quality control setting. 

            You can pre-set the passing score (e.g., 70 or 80) so it is automatically applied to all new courses.

              Cost: If your courses require a fee, set the standard price point here.

              Version: Used to track content updates. You can set the starting version to "1.0" by default.

                Now, whenever you build a new Course Description, these details will be waiting for you in the form.
                You can use them as-is or edit them for that specific course, making your administrative process faster and more professional.
