Context-Sensitive Help

While working with OLAT you cannot only dispose of this manual but also use OLAT's context-sensitive Help. This Help feature explains the options you have regarding OLAT's configuration--right where you are at that particular moment. You will recognize this feature by a question mark icon. Just click on that icon to open the context-sensitive Help feature within a new window.

Course Templates and Demo Courses

In the tab «Learning resources» you will find a catalog containing demo courses and course templates to facilitate your first steps as OLAT author by demonstrating how certain course elements can be used. Course templates are meant to be copied. The homepage of each course template provides information on necessary copy configurations before activating your course. There is a large course template as well as a small one. Demo courses serve as illustrative material to get familiar with OLAT’s course elements before testing them, e.g. the Wiki. Course templates and demo courses are available in German and English.
