Creating a Module

Modules are the focal point of Trakstar Learn and likely where you will spend the most amount of time. Fortunately, creating a module is easy!  This Help Article will lead you through the basics and offer a few tips.

Once you have created your new module, you will be sent to the Manage tab. From here you can start building your module.

Manage

The Manage tab is where you will start setting up your module:

1. Module Information: Add the title of your module and a description.

2. Module Settings: Set the minimum passing score, which will take the average across all quizzes to determine their Module score. For more information about setting passing requirements, please refer to this help article.

3. Handouts: Handouts are files that your Trainees will be able to download and keep.  This is not necessarily for module content. Handouts are typically used for information that is supplemental in nature.  Items like handbooks, product manuals, etc. are common candidates for Handouts. 

Content

The Content tab is where you will work on uploading your content and setting up the order of your slides (Only visible for On-Demand modules). This is also the place to use our recording audio feature.
