How to structure content for a corporate environment?

We have approximately 100-150 tutorials that are broken into product groups.  We would like to use Moodle to structure and host this content.

We have considered setting up courses like this (each topic is a tutorial):

Product 1

  • topic a
  • topic b
  • topic c

Product 2

  • topic a
  • topic b
  • topic c

However, we think it would be better to make each tutorial its own class.  That way a student could search for something and get directed right to the appropriate content.

Would a meta course help in this regard?

Thanks in advance.  Any advice is apreciated.

Scott:

If you want learners to be able to search by product for training materials, you're probably on the right track with having each product be its own course. You can use categories to divide out the product groupings.

Meta courses manage mostly enrollment. There is a good explanation of what metacourses do at http://docs.moodle.org/en/Metacourses.
But it sounds like you'll be letting employees enroll in whatever they want, if they can search for courses. In that case, I don't know whether metacourses will be useful or not.

Amy, thanks for the reply.

Can you tell me if enrollment is required? Would it be possible to make all content 'open', yet still track who viewed what?

Thanks,

Scott

My understanding of Moodle reporting is that you can view logs on learner access of particular objects, or of a course, by detailing a search within Reports as Admin. You can also see exactly what any learner has done, exactly what objects viewed, sites visited, etc., from the course logs.

By default, Moodle leaves all courses "open," that is, anyone with a user account can enroll in any course. But you are asked whether you want to "enroll" when you select a course. I think this just causes certain tables to start tracking user data within the course--but I know nothing about databases.

So, yes, you would want to create courses <em>without</em> enrollment keys (which would restrict enrollment, making courses not "open") and just let the learners go. You can track their progress as site admin or by course. I suppose that ideally, for such a model, there would be some sort of grand finale activity that the learner would have to complete to show that they did in fact learn about X product.

There is a discussion you might be interested in here:
http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=62994

When the course setting are: Course enrollable = Yes. Students can enroll themselves in the Course. Once they have enrolled you can review who is enrolled by using the Admin Block to view the Students in the Course.
