 \'Forum Administration\'. Discussions are organised in sets and subsets as
 following:</p><p><b>Category > Forum > Topic > Answers</b></p>To structure
 your users discussions, it is necessary to organise categories and
 forums beforehand, leaving the creation of topics and answers to them. By
 default, the Claroline forum only contains the category \'Public\', a sample
 forum and a sample topic.</p><p>The first thing you should do is deleting
 the sample topic and modify the first forum name. Then, you can
 create, in the \'public\' category, other forums, by by themes, to
 fit your learning scenario requirements.</p><p>Don\'t mix Categories and
 forums, and don\'t forget that an empty category (without forums) does not
 appear on the student view.</p><p>The description of a forum can be the
 list of its members, the definition of a goal, a task, a theme...</p>
 <p>Group forums should not be created through Forum tool but through Groups tool. There you will be allowed to decide whether your group forums are private or public.</p>
 <b>Pedagogically advanced use</b>
 <p>Some teachers / trainers use the forum to post corrections. One student/trainee publishes a paper.

On top right, you can access to a tool through its icon in one clic. Whether you select your course code on left (always UPPER CASE) or the house icon on the right, you will reach the home page of your course. </p>
<b>Best practice</b>
<p>To motivate your students, it is important that your course area is a dynamic area. This will indicate that there is \'somebody behind the screen\'. A quick way to give this feeling is to edit the Introduction text (clic on yellow pencil) at least evey week to tell latest news, forthcoming deadlines and so on.</p>
<p>To build your course, it might proove relevant to follow these steps:
<ol><li>In Course Settings, check Course Acces : Private and Subscription : Denied. This way, nobody can enter your course area during building process,</li>
<li>Show all the tools clicking on the grey link below the ones situated at the bottom of the page,</li>
<li>Use the tools you need to \'fill\' your area with content, events, guidelines, tests etc.,</li>
<li>Hide all tools : your home page is empty in Student view,</li>
<li>Use the Path tool to structure the way students will visit it and learn with it. This way, you use the other tools, but you don\'t show them at first sight.</li>
<li>Click on the eye icon besides the path you created : this path will then show on your home page,</li>
<li>The preparation of your course area is over. Your home page shows an introdution text followed by one link only and this link drives students through the course. Clic on Student view (top right) to see things from a student point of view.<I></I></li></ol>";

<p>Claroline is a Learning and Knowledge Management System. It allows the teacher to organise learning materials, learning paths  and to manage the interaction with his/her students. All this is made inside the web browser.</p>
<p>To use Claroline as a teacher, you need a login and a password. Depending on the security settings of your portal, you an get these by self-registration (right hand menu) or from the central administration of your organisation. Note that a login and a password never contain spaces or acents and that they are case sensitive. Type your login/password, then create a course (top right) or use the course that has been created for you by the central administration of your organisation.</p>
<p>To add a colleague as co-administrator of your course:
<ol><li>If he/she is not yet registered in the system, register him/her and select \'Teacher\' as a profile,</li>
<li>If he/she is already registered in the system, temporarily open course subscription in Course settings and ask him/her to enroll in your course. Then edit his/her profile and give him/her Teacher rights.</li></ol></p>
<p>
Every Claroline tool contains a contextual help represented by a red buoy. If you don\'t find there the good information, consider checking the Claroline documentation page: <a href=\\\"http://www.Claroline.com/documentation.php\\\">http://www.Claroline.com/documentation.php</a> and download the teacher manual. in your own language or in English</p>
<p><b>Student</b></p>
<p>This portal allows you to follow and participate to courses, trainings, collaborative workshops etc. It has been created to promote active learning: project-based, problem-based, casesbased learning, collaborative research etc.
Your teachers have build learning areas that can present as simple documents folders or sophisticated self-learning or group learning sequences of activities.</p>
<p>Registration process can vary from one organisation to the other. In some cases, self-registration is allowed. In others, you should get from the central administration a login and a password.</p>";
$langHDoc = "Help Documents";
$langDocContent = "<p>The Documents tool is similar to the FileManager of
 your desktop computer.</p><p>You can create simple web pages (\'Create a document\') or upload files of any type (HTML, Word,
 Powerpoint, Excel, Acrobat, Flash, Quicktime, etc.). Your only concern
 must be that your users have the corresponding software to read them.
 Some file types can contain viruses, it is your responsibilty not to
 upload virus contaminated files, unless your portal admin has installed a server side anti=virus software. 
 It is, anyway, a worthwhile precaution to check documents with
 antivirus software before uploading them.</p>
<p>The documents are presented in alphabetical order.<br><br><b>Tip : </b>If
 you want to present them in a different order, numerate them: 01, 02,
 03... Or use the Learning Path to present a sophisticated Table of Contents. Note that once your documents are uploaded, you may decide to hide the documents area and show only one page on Home page (Add link on home page orange tool) or a Learning Path containing some documents from your Documents area.</p>
<p>You can :</p>
<H4>Create a document</H4>
<p>Select Create a document > Give it a title (no spaces, no accents) > type your text > Use the buttons of the Wysiwyg (What You See Is What You Get) editor to structure information, create tables, styles etc. To create web pages, you will need to get familiar with 3 concepts : Links, Images and Tables. Note that web pages offer less layout possibilities than Ms-Word pages. Note too that instead of creating a document in the editor, you can also cut and paste existing content from a web page or a Word document. This is an easy and quick way to migrate content onto your Claroline course.
</p>
<ul><li><b>To add a link</b>, you need to copy the URL of the target somewhere. We suggest that you open 2 browser windows simultaneously, one with your Claroline course and the other to browse the web. Once you find the page you are looking for (note that this page can be inside your Claroline course), copy its URL (CTRL+C or APPLE+C), go back to your page editor, select the word that will be the link, click on the small chain icon, paste the URL of your target there and validate. Once your page is saved, test the link to see if it opens the target. Note that you can decide in the Link popup menu if the link will create a new page or replace your Claroline page in the same window.</li>
<li><b>To add an image</b>, the principle is similar to the link feature : browse the web with a 2nd window, find the image (if the image is inside your course\'s documents area, select \'No frames\' to get the image only and not the context), copy its URL (CTRL+C or APPLE+C in the URL bar after selecting the whole URL) then go back to your web page editor, position your mouse in the form where you want your image to appear, then click on the small tree icon and copy the URL of the target image into the URL field, Preview and validate. Note that in web pages, you can not redimension your images like in a PowerPoint presentation, neither can you re-locate the image anywhere in the page.</li>
<li><b>To add a table</b>, position your mouse in the field where you want the table to appear, then select the table icon in the Wysiwyg editor menu, decide for a number of columns and lines and validate. To get nice tables, we suggest that you choose the following values : border=1, cellspacing=0, cellpadding=4. Note that you will not be allowed to redimension your table or add lines or columns to it after its creation (sorry about this, it is just an online editor, not a word processor yet).</li>

<li>manually (\'Edit\'),</li>
<li>self-registration by users (Groups settings: \'Self registration allowed...\').</li>

These three ways can be combined. You can, for instance, ask users to self-register first.
Then discover that some of them didn\'t register and decide to fill groups automatically (random) in
order to complete them. You can also edit each group to compose membership user by user after or before self-registration and/or automatical filling.</p>
<p>Groups filling, whether automatical or manual, works only if there are already users
registered in the area. Users list is visible in <b>Users</b> tool. </p><hr noshade size=1>

<b>Test creation</b>
<p>In order to create a test, click on the link \"New test\".<br><br>
Type the test name, as well as an optional description of it.<br><br>
You can add an audio or a video file, for listening comprehension etc. It is up to you to choose these files as light as possible so that they download easily through the web. Prefer .mp3 files to .wav file for instance, because of a better compression and then smaller file size.
<br>
<br>
You can also choose between 2 test types :<br><br>
<ul>
  <li>Questions on an unique page</li>
  <li>One question per page (sequential)</li>

  <li>Add an optional comment. This comment won\'t be seen by the user untill he/she has answered to the question</li>
  <li>Give a weighting to each answer. The weighting can be any positive or negative integer, or zero</li>
  <li>Save your answers</li>
</ul></p>
<hr>
<b>Fill in the blanks</b>
<p>This allows you to create a text with gaps. The aim is to let the user find words that you have removed from the text.<br><br>
To remove a word from the text, and so to create a blank, put this word between brackets [like this].<br><br>
Once the text has been typed and blanks defined, you can add a comment that will be seen by the student when it replies to the question.<br><br>
Save your text, and you will enter the next step that will allow you to give a weighting to each blank. For example, if the question worths 10 points and you have 5 blanks, you can give a weighting of 2 points to each blank.</p>
<hr>
<b>Matching</b>
<p>This answer type can be chosen so as to create a question where the user will have to connect elements from an unit U1 with elements from an unit U2.<br><br>
It can also be used to ask the user to sort elements in a certain order.<br><br>
First define the options among which the user will be able to choose the good answer. Then, define the questions which will have to be linked to one of the options previously defined. Finally, connect via the drop-down menu elements from the first unit with those of the second one.<br><br>
Notice : Several elements from the first unit can point to the same element in the second unit.<br><br>
Give a weighting to each correct matching, and save your answer.</p>

<p>So as for a test to be used, you have to enable it by clicking on the picture <img src=\\\"../img/invisible.gif\\\" border=\\\"0\\\" align=\\\"absmiddle\\\"> beside the test name.</p>
<hr>
<b>Running the test</b>
<p>You can test your exercise by clicking on its name in the tests list.</p>
<hr>
<b>Random questions</b>
<p>At the time of test creation / modification, you can tell if you want questions to be drawn in a random order among all questions of the test.<br><br>
By enabling this option, questions will be drawn in a different order every time users will run the test.<br><br>
If you have got a big number of questions, you can also choose to randomly draw only X questions among all questions available in that exercise.</p>
<hr>
<b>Questions pool</b>
<p>When you delete a test, its questions are not removed from the database, and they can be reused into a new test, via the questions pool.<br><br>
The questions pool also allows to reuse the same question into several tests.<br><br>
By default, all the questions of your course are hidden. You can show the questions related to a test, by chosing this one in the drop-down menu \"Filter\".<br><br>
Orphan questions are questions that don not belong to any test.</p>
Adding a question

<b>HotPotatoes Tests</b>
<p>You can import HotPotatoes tests into Claroline portal, to this Tests tool. Results of these tests are stored the same way as Claroline tests. You can explore the results in User Tracking. In case of single tests, we recommend to use html or htm format, if your test contains pictures, a zip file upload is the most convenient way.</p>
<p>Note : You can add HotPotatoes Tests as a step in the Learning Path, as well.</p>
<b>Method of the import</b>
<ul>
  <li>Select the file on your computer using the Browse button <input
 type=submit value=Browse name=submit2>
	on the right of your screen.</li>
		<li>
			Launch the upload with the Upload Button <input type=submit value=Upload name=submit2>.
		</li>
		<li>
			You can open the test by clicking onto its name.

What is a Learning Path ?</b>
</p><p>A Learning Path is a sequence of learning steps included in modules. It can be content-based (looking like a table of contents) or activities-based, looking like an agenda or a programme of what you need to do in order to understand and practice a certain knowledge or know-how.</p><p>In addition to being structured, a learning path can also be sequenced. This means that some steps will constitute pre-requisites for others (\'you cannot go to step 2 before step1\'). Your sequence can be suggestive (you show steps one after the other) or imperative (you add pre-requisites so that people are forced to follow the sequence).
</p>
<p><b>How to create our own Learning Path ?</b></p>
<p>
The first step is to arrive to Learning Path Builder section. In
the Learning Path screen, there is a link to it. There you can create
many paths by clicking onto <i>Add a new learning path</i>. But they are
empty, till you add modules and steps to them.<br>If you make a path
visible, it will appear as a new tool on the homepage of the course. This
way their access is easier.</p>
<p>
<b>What are the steps for these paths ? (What are the items that can be added?)</b></p>
<p>All Claroline tools, activities and contents that you consider to be useful and connected to your
imagined path can be added :<br><ul>
<li>Agenda items</li>
<li>Separate documents (texts, pictures, Office docs, ...)</li>
<li>Announcement items</li>
<li>Forums as a whole</li>
<li>Topics</li>
<li>Individual topic messages</li>
<li>Links</li>
<li>Claroline Tests</li>
<li>HotPotatoes Tests
<br>(note : those invisible tests, that you put in a path, become visible for students, but only in the Path tool)</li>
<li>Assignments page</li>
<li>Dropbox page</li>
<li>External links, which point out of Claroline system</li></ul>
</p>
<p><b>
Other features of Learning Path</b>
</p>
<p>
Students can be asked to follow (read) your path in a given order, as you
can set <u>prerequisities</u> in the path. This means that for example students
cannot go to Quiz 2 till they have read Document 1. All items have a status :
completed or incomplete, so the progress of students is clearly available.
</p><p>
If you alter the original title of a step, the new title will appear in
the path, but the original title will not be deleted. So if you want
test8.doc to appear as \'Final Exam\' in the path, you do not have to rename
the file, you can use the new title in the path. It is also useful
to give new titles to links as they are too long.
</p><p>
When finished, do not forget to check the student view, where the table of
contents appears on the left and the path steps usually appear on the right,
one by one.
</p><br><p><b>
What is a Scorm or IMS format Learning path and how to upload (import) it?</b>
</p>
<p>The learning path tool allows you to upload SCORM and IMS compliant course
contents.</p>
<p>SCORM  (<i>Sharable Content Object Reference Model</i>) is a public standard followed by major e-Learning actors
like NETg, Macromedia, Microsoft, Skillsoft, etc. and acting at three levels:
</p>
<ul>
<li><b>Economy</b> : Scorm allows whole courses or small content
units to be reusable on different Learning Management Systems (LMS)
through the separation of content and context,</li>
<li><b>Pedagogy</b> : Scorm integrates the notion of
pre-requisite or <i>sequencing</i> (<i>e.g. </i>\\\"You
cannot go to chapter 2 before passing Quiz 1\\\"),</li>
<li><b>Technology</b> : Scorm generates a table of contents as
an
abstraction layer situated outside content and outside the LMS. It
helps content and LMS communicate with each
other. What is communicated is mainly <i>bookmarks
</i>(\\\"Where is John in the
course?\\\"), <i>scoring</i> (\\\"How did John pass the test?\\\") and <i>time</i> (\\\"How much
time did John spent in chapter 1?\\\").</li>
</ul>
<b>How to create a SCORM compliant learning path?</b><br>
<br>
The most natural way is to use the Claroline Learning Path Builder. However, you may want to create complete Scorm compliant websites locally on your own computer before uploading it onto your Claroline platform. In this case, we recommend the use of a sophisticated tool like Lectora
