Course catalogue

If a site has enabled the course catalogue, you can browse through a wide variety of courses that you can enrol to. The course catalogue has similarities to the community course catalogue, but is used within your site, and not externally.

The course catalogue allows you to make your course openly available for enrolment within your site. A link to the course catalogue can be made visible on the login page.

There are three different course catalogues in itslearning:

• Local course catalogue: All users for your site have access to the course. The local course catalogue is available from the Courses tab. Click Find more courses >> Site course catalogue to see an overview of the courses that have been added to the local course catalogue. Teachers that add courses to the catalogue can decide whether users should get instant access when enrolling, or have to wait for the course owner to approve an application.
  
  
  
  
• Site course catalogue: The site course catalogue allows persons without itslearning accounts to enrol. An application is sent to the course owner and he or she is allowed to reject or accept the application. By using the site course catalogue, you are allowed to publish information on an open Internet site and let anyone who is interested enrol. The site course catalogue is available as a link from the bottom of the itslearning login page:
  
  
  
  
• itslearning community: All external itslearning users can access the course. Click the link to see a separate topic.
