Course Format

ILMZone offers courses in multiple formats. The formats are listed below

• Daily Format

• Single-activity format

This format has only one section in the course. This format is ideal for seminars, introductory sessions, and single-topic courses. This course can be one day long.

• Long format courses

These courses list section by week. In this format, tutors make a timeline of contents that the students will cover in a week’s time. This format is ideal for longer and more detailed courses where topic may take a day or two to finish

Course Creation

• Start and end date of the course
• Available days in a week

This step is the most important and requires careful curation of course outline. You will enter the course outline by the week. In the outline, it is important to list the course content that will be covered in each week in appropriate level of detail.

• After updating, the course will be sent to be reviewed once again.
• If the administration sees that the course has been updated to meet platform’s quality expectations, the course will be approved.
