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
- 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.
- If this activity is instructor-led make sure your instructors exist in the system and have the instructor checkbox selected on their Administrator profile.
- If this activity is on-location, make sure any required locations, facilities, equipment, or vendors are in the system.
- Add Instructors, location, cost, equipment to the class not the course.
