The E-Learning tool allows RTO Admins to create training modules, add a variety of questions and learning content.
E-Learning modules come in two types: Training Template, and Standalone. Training Template modules utilise the platform's built-in question types which we just looked at, making it ideal for quick and easy creation of tests for your users. Standalone modules take a SCORM package, which can contain interactive information and quizzes, and presents it to your users.
There are 7 options when building the e-Learning content, including 5 question types. The user can read content, watch a video, answer multiple choice question, where there is one correct answer, they can respond to a tick box question, where there is more than one correct answer. They can answer a short answer question, complete a drag and drop where you can match images to a phrase, or a hot spot question which is another visual question type allowing the user to select the image that represents the correct answer.
