Content — Content Code Configuration

TraCorp LMS Quick Reference Guide (QRG)

Audience: Main Admin, Sub Admin, User Group Admin

Overview

This QRG explains how to format a content code in the LMS. Content codes are unique identifiers that help keep content organized, make it easier to search for items, and ensure consistency across multiple content types and versions.

Enabled Permissions Required to Add Content

·         Content (Sub Admin, User Group Admin)

Note: Sub Admin and User Group Admin without access to complete these steps should review Permissions with a Main Admin.

Content Code Guidance

Content Codes are any unique configuration of numbers and letters that help identify content in the LMS. Developing a strategy for content code naming conventions helps ensure that content is more easily organized and searchable.

·         Create content codes that help identify multiple elements of the content.

o    Examples:

§ [Client Code]-[Content Type]-[Short Title]-[Version]

§ [Department Code]-[Project Code]-[Number Label]

·         Use a consistent naming structure for all content.

·         Create a code structure that can be replicated regardless of content type.

·         Choose short titles that clearly describe the content.

·         Avoid spaces and special characters in content codes.

·         Use the same structure for courses, tests, videos, and all other content items.

Best Practices

Creating a cohesive content code plan before loading content into the LMS, and creating category folders to align with these codes, creates an organized foundation upon which to build.
