Easy Course Creation (ECC)
The simplified course creation process is designed for users who want to quickly set up new courses in the LMS without needing in-depth system knowledge. Unlike the comprehensive backend course creation, which offers a wide range of configuration options, this streamlined version focuses on the essentials. It provides a lean and intuitive interface that allows users to capture key course attributes – such as title, description, start date, and responsible person – efficiently.
Typical Use Cases
Departments that want to independently create training or informational courses
Project leads who need to publish learning content on short notice
New administrators or occasional users unfamiliar with the complex backend
Benefits
Time-saving: Courses can be created in just a few minutes thanks to the reduced input fields.
Low entry barrier: No training or in-depth system knowledge required.
Error reduction: Limiting inputs to relevant fields decreases the chance of incorrect or inconsistent data.
Focus on essentials: No distractions from optional or advanced settings – ideal for standard courses.
Scalability: Enables decentralized course creation, e.g. by departments or external partners.
Improved user adoption: The intuitive interface lowers the threshold for engaging with the LMS.
Use Case 1 : Internal Course Creation by Supervisors or Course Administrators
Target Users
Supervisors
Team leads
Decentralized course administrators
Scenario
Internal training or information-sharing courses need to be set up quickly for specific teams or departments without involving the central LMS administration.
Purpose
To enable departments or managers to independently create standardized internal courses using only the essential fields (e.g., course title, description, start date, responsible person), without navigating the full backend complexity.
Key Benefits
Quick setup for team-specific learning
Reduces workload for central administrators
Promotes decentralized knowledge sharing
Ensures consistency through predefined templates or minimal required fields
Examples
A supervisor creates a compliance briefing for new team members
A department head sets up a workshop on a new internal tool
Use Case 2 : Logging of External Courses by Learners
Target Users
All learners (employees, participants)
Supervisors (for validation, if required)
Scenario
Learners attend external seminars, workshops, or certifications outside the organization and need to document their learning activities in the LMS.
Purpose
To give learners a way to record and request recognition for external learning events while keeping the documentation process simple and verifiable.
Key Benefits
Encourages lifelong learning and documentation of informal education
Allows tracking of externally acquired skills and qualifications
Optional supervisor validation ensures data reliability
Promotes ownership of personal learning journeys
Examples
An employee records participation in an external software training
A learner submits proof of completing a professional certification program
Use Case 3 : Course Requests by Learners (Internal or External)
Target Users
All learners
Managers or learning coordinators (for review/approval)
Scenario
Learners want to suggest new internal training ideas or request participation in external events that are not yet available in the LMS.
Purpose
To involve learners in shaping the learning offering by enabling them to submit course requests that can be reviewed and potentially approved or converted into official courses.
Key Benefits
Increases learner engagement and initiative
Identifies training demand from the bottom up
Supports both internal suggestions and external course requests
Streamlines the approval process through a lean request form
Examples
A learner proposes a soft skills workshop for their team
An employee requests to attend an industry conference and wants it pre-approved
