Learning Activity – Instructor-led Class

Instructor-led Training (ILT) Courses/Classes are the vehicle to set up training where an instructor interacts with learners.  Often this training takes place in person, but it could also take place online via a virtual meeting room.

The ILT class activity type is one half of the equation.  You use ILT classes or sessions to offer the same training at different times, dates, and/or across multiple locations with different instructors.  The ILT activity structure in TLC is:

  • ILT Course – This is the overall training that “hosts” the different offerings
  • ILT Classes – These are the general time spans and locations where the training is offered. ILT Courses and split into ILT Classes which allows the course content to be offered multiple times.
  • Sessions – These are the specific times the training takes place. ILT Classes can be split into sessions. 

Best Practices

  1. Make sure this is the right activity type. There are other similar activity types that may be more useful.
    • If you need to set up a one-time ILT activity, you can just create an ILT Class
    • If your domain has integrated with Webex, Adobe Connect, iLinc, Zoom, or Live Meeting and you want to either schedule a life online event or upload a recorded one, create a virtual session.
    • If you need to create a recurring activity across dozens of sessions (such as a proctored assessment) consider using a dynamic Offering.

  2. If this activity is instructor-led make sure your instructors exist in the system and have the instructor checkbox selected on their Administrator profile.

  3. If this activity is on-location, make sure any required locations, facilities, equipment, or vendors are in the system.

  4. Add Instructors, location, cost, equipment to the class not the course.
