Will I be able to update a SL course after it's in an LMS?

Mar 13, 2018

Hello

Newbie question:

I'm wondering if a SL course is able to be updated after it's uploaded into an LMS. More specifically, will updating the course mess up scoring or the stored data of users who have already begun or completed the course?

Thanks

Karen

Hi there, Karen!  If you need to make changes to your course after you've initially loaded it into the LMS, you can edit and republish.

You'll have to decide if you want to override the existing course or if you want to add it as a new item in your LMS.  If you are replacing the course, I would take advantage of whatever LMS feature you might have to export or otherwise save the initial reports you've run on users who've taken the content so far.

If users are in the middle of the course, their progress likely will be lost and they'll need to start over in the new version.

I'm curious how other community folks handle this situation, too, as it undoubtedly is a common scenario...
