== Introduction ==

An eCourse is a structure that holds information of any kind usually for the purposes of training or operational support. The information is stored in roughly the structure of Book, Chapter and Page. Each page can contain any amount of information in a broad range of formats, from text to images, audio recordings, multimedia, PDF documents, Word Documents or almost anything else you care to upload. Each Book can have multiple Chapters and each Chapter can have multiple Pages. When uploading content in any format, this is displayed at the Page level. In order for a Book to be visible in the system, it must have content attached to at least one page.

== Creating an eCourse - Using the Console ==

The first step before using the console, is to create a book. This can be done by following ''Main Menu | eCourse Management | Book Management | Create a Book ''. The following link provides an explanation of what you will see there;

Once the Book is in place, the fastest and easiest way to create the rest of the eCourse in bxp is to use the console. This is reachable through ''Main Menu | eCourse Management | Book Management | Book Console ''. Simply follow the steps, and you will have your eCourse created in no time at all! To reach the console folow ''Main Menu | eCourse Management | Book Management | Book Console ''. More information on these functions can be found at

* http://www.bxpsoftware.com/wixi/index.php?title=Console_-_eCourse

== Creating an eCourse - Assets ==

As mentioned above, it is possible to add any amount of information to the page of an eCourse, in many different formats. Each seperate piece of information that you add is called an '''Asset'''. You can have more than one asset on a page. This could be a combination of text, images and video (or any combination thereof).

To find more information on how to add an Asset to a page, please use the following link:

== Creating an eCourse - Final Steps ==

Once your eCourse has been created (with Book, Chapters, Pages and Assets added), the last step is to make it visible to those users of '''bxp''' who need it.

By default, the author of a book already has both read and edit permissions, but for anyone else, permission must be granted

'''Read''' permissions are for those users that simply need to access the information contained in the eCourse, but '''Edit''' permissions are available for those people whom you wish to be able to change things in the eCourse.

'''NB''' This is not recommended for everyone.

To find more information on how to Grant Permission for an eCourse to users, please use the following link:

PLEASE NOTE: This function is available through the eCourse Console, mentioned above
