Uploading Multi-Course vs. Single Course

A major difference to note between uploading a multi-course and uploading a single course is that after you have successfully uploaded a single course, it immediately becomes available for enrollment to students so long as the following conditions are met:

  • The Status of the course after processing is Open;
  • The corresponding e-learning package for the course has been processed; and
  • The e-learning package Job Status is Completed.

    Multi-courses, however, are not immediately available. This is because creating a multi-course is similar to uploading several courses in bulk. All courses in the multi-course package must be processed individually before they can be available for enrollment to students. The import queue is automatically processed in batches on an hourly basis, but jobs may be processed at any time from the EPIQ Jobs screen.

Note: The E-Learning Import Batch Size System Setting controls the number of jobs that are processed per run on an hourly basis.

The E-Learning Import Staging Directory System Setting defines the location where the imported e-learning packages are stored after they are uploaded into the Learning module.

Both settings are located under the General section of the Settings screen (Administration > Global Settings > System Administration > System Settings > General).
