Open eLearning App
From the main Odoo 19 dashboard, locate and click on the eLearning module to access the course management interface.
Navigate to Courses
Go to Courses > Courses in the top navigation menu and click the New button to start creating a course.
Enter Course Details
A new window will open. Enter the course name in the Course Title field and add relevant tags to categorize your course.
Configuring Course Content
After entering the basic course details, you will find four tabs: Content, Description, Options, and Karma. The Content tab is where you build the actual course structure by adding sections and uploading learning materials.
Step 2: Configure Content Tab and Upload Materials
In the Content tab, you can organize your course using the Add Section button to create logical groupings. To upload or create course content, click the Add Content button. A pop-up window will appear where you can specify the Content Title and add appropriate tags.

Configure Access Settings
Enable Allow Download to permit file downloads, or Allow Preview to let users access content without joining the course.
Content Access Control
Use the Allow Preview setting carefully. Enabling it allows potential learners to view content before enrolling, which is great for marketing but may expose proprietary material if not intended.
Step 3: Add Descriptions and Additional Resources
Under the Description tab, you can add a short note about the content to provide context for learners. The Additional Resources tab allows you to attach supporting materials either as a file upload or a direct link. Simply select the desired option and upload the file or enter the URL.

Create Certification Details
A new window opens for certification setup. Add the title, assign a Responsible user, select Language, and configure Restricted access if needed.
Add Certification Questions
Use the Question tab to add questions. Select from Multiple Choice, Single Line Text, or Matrix types. Configure scoring and correct answers.
Configure Options and Messages
Under the Options tab, define quiz behavior and evaluation. Use Description and End Message tabs for instructions and completion notes.
Configuring Course Options and Access
