Here, you'll find what a Knowledge Document Course is and the properties they have.
What is a Knowledge Document?
Knowledge Document Courses are very similar to E-Learning Courses insofar as the Delegate needs to access theirLearner Portalto view the course online. However instead of accessing an E-Learning course, they access a document to read. This document could be a PDF, a PowerPoint, or Word document, a video file, etc.
If you cannot see Knowledge Document as an option on your system, please contact the Helpdesk team. You will need to ask them to change some of the settings on your system so that you can access Knowledge Documents.

Setting up a Knowledge Document
You can set up Knowledge Document Courses within the Course Templates area of your system. There are a few areas that you'll need to fill out first though, so below is a brief overview of what the most important Knowledge Document-specific fields are:
Quick Access As with E-Learning, you can allow the delegate to view the course information straight away by ticking theQuick Accessbox.
If you do not enable Quick Access, then you will need to change the Delegate status to 'In Progress' to allow them to gain access to the document's package.

Self-Complete TheSelf-Completeoption at the Course Template level allows the Delegate to let you know that they have viewed the document by ticking a box in the Learners Portal.
Start Date andExpiry Date You can also add a Start Date and Expiry Dateto the course, which will limit when the Delegate can access the document.
