Course Preview

When a course is opened in preview mode by an administrator or tutor, the course and its components should be viewable as they are for learners, enabling quality assurance and verification of the learner view.

  • News preview is visible in the course to check if there are errors and to check the design

  • Participants and tutors are visible in preview

  • Library should be visible and show the assigned contents with possibility to open them

  • Forum are visible and the assigned contents are shown with possibility to open them

  • Skills, assigned to the course, are visible

  • Rating can be opened, but not rated

  • Calender

  • Simplified course room

  • Description and Prerequisite tab can be previewed. Missing prerequisites chip wont be shown as it is user-specific information however on the prerequisites tab, it would be checked which prerequisites are missing for the administrator/tutor for the course to simulate the scenario so that user can check if the catalogue is opening or not.
