Manage content - Undertake an online course

If you're using the 'Undertake an online course' type of learning experience and have set your game type to branching, linear, or non-linear, the manage content screen will show you multiple pieces of content (objects) in a level structure. Click here to read more about game types. 

Here's what a learning experience with multiple levels looks like:

1. Here learners can see the learning experience description, their progress, and a link to the leaderboard. Click here to read more about leaderboards.

2. This is a level. The blue door icon indicates that the level has a gate and the progress bar shows the XP available and achieved on the object. ‘0/1XP’ indicates that out of 1XP available, zero has been achieved yet.

Clicking on a level will reveal the objects within that level:

1. Level description, level progress, and a link back to the other levels.

2. An object, showing the title, description, current XP, and information on how to achieve XP.
