Can we change offereing from learning under the Content Tab

Dear,
We had offered a course and people attended the class, in which some got passed or failed. Now my question is that can we change the offerting name with new one which training has already been done by using updating/Creating Button over there.
Suppose, Offereing Done with 'Oracle HRMS Learn' but we have create a new offering "Oracle Learning Manger" and want to replace it with new one. will effect the record or now issue.
Thanks.

Hi!
I'm not sure if I understand your question exactly, but here are some suggestions that I think will help:
The easiest way to modify the Offering for an existing Course once it has been created is through the Catalog tab and not the Content tab.  Based on your question, however, it sounds like your best approach may be to create a brand new Course instead because the subject matter is different from your first Course.
As a best practice, your Offering names should be consistent across all of your Courses and they should match the delivery mode of the training so that your Learners know what to expect when they choose a specific Offering.  For example, if you have an "Oracle HRMS Learn" Course, you would have an Offering underneath it called "Online Self-Paced Training" (or something like that) and a Class called "Oracle HRMS Learn."  This way, if you ever want to offer this Course using a different delivery mode, you could create a new Offering under the course (i.e., "Instructor-Led Training") and it would be easy for your Learners to decide how they'd like to take the Course.

Oracle HRMS Learn - 13-Feb-2014 
If you have a new online Course that you'd like to offer that has a different subject, you should create a brand new Course with a new Offering that points to the online content files, and a new Class under the Offering.  Then, you can copy your existing enrollments from the other Class that people have already completed to the new Class under your new Course.  For example, you could create "Oracle Learning Manager" as the Course, and then have "Online Self-Paced Training" as the Offering, and "Oracle Learning Manager" as the Class.

The only time you'd want to change the Learning Object that an Offering points to is when you have an updated version of the same Course.  For example, if your Learners took the Oracle HRMS Learn content in 2013 and then you updated the content for 2014, you could keep the same Course, Offering, and Class, and then just update the Learning Object that your Offering points to.  You could then send out a message to everyone in the Class that they should re-take it (or list it as part of a Learning Certification so that renewals are tracked through OLM), and everyone that takes it in the future will see the new content.
My company has freely available "Unofficial Guides to OLM" for users and administrators that you may find useful with step-by-step instructions and best-practice recommendations.  Here's where you can download both guides:

  • I changed my email on my Apple ID and now I can't purchase anything from iTunes or the app store. How do I fix that?

    I changed the email on my Apple ID and now my password won't work and I can't get anything from iTunes or the App store.

    Try logging out of your account on the iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes  & App Stores on iOS 6) and then log back in and see if it then works.

  • My friend recently switched from iphone to blackberry, but my messages to her are still sent as imessage. how can i send it as a normal message? she doesn't receive any of my messages. her phone number is saved in my phone under the phone tab, not iphone.

    My friend recently switched from iphone to blackberry, but my messages to her are still sent as imessage. how can i send it as a normal message? she doesn't receive any of my messages. her phone number is saved in my phone under the phone tab, not iphone.

    Sounds like your friend didn't disable iMessage on his/her iphone before switching.  Have your friend do the following:
    Go to: https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do
    Log in if not already logged in.
    Click on "edit products"
    Click on the "x" to the right of his/her old iPhone.
    Click "unregister"
    This should unregister it with the iMessage server, which will allow you to send texts as normal SMS.
    On your iPhone make sure you have Settings>Messages>Send As SMS set to ON.

  • I just bought a brand new iPhone 5s and a huge problem is that when i try to sync my music to my iPhone 5s, under the music tab it says that i can only access my music via iCloud. is there anyway to sync your music from your computer?????

    The ! sign before the song means that the actual song is no longer on your computer and/or iTunes library.

  • I have iphone 5 can i change it from apple and pay the difference bettween both value

    Ask your retailer.  At worst, you can sell your iPhone 5 independently (of Apple and your retailer) and separately purchase the later model.

  • When watching a slideshow I could always access music from my iTunes folder.  Suddenly today I can only hear music under the 'theme' tab.  I can see my music in iTunes but when I double click on it nothing happens!

    In iTunes go File -> Library -> Organise Library -> Reorganise Library.
    Then quit and restart iPhoto.
    Credit to user keysandfood who figured that one out.

  • HT5621 Updated Apple ID- the iCloud is still autopopulating my other ID email address and I can't change it from my iCloud, iPhone or anything.

    Updated Apple ID- the iCloud is still autopopulating my other ID email address and I can't change it from my iCloud, iPhone or anything. I've updated my Apple ID through my PC, and iTunes Store, but it will not populate and I am losing my mind. This is ridiculously frustrating

    If you still have access to your old email address, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email account and verify it.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  You can now go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your correct iCloud ID and password.
    If you don't have access to your old email address, you will have to contact Apple to have them reset the password so you can disable Find My iPhone and sign into your iCloud account.  You can either go to https://expresslane.apple.com, select "More Products and Services", then "Apple ID", then  on the next page select "Other Apple ID Topics", then "Lost or forgotten Apple ID password" and click "Continue"; or you can contact Apple Support (http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/).

  • Hey ' I have hAd my iPhone 5s for a year now ' and can't remember my iCloud password ? And can't change it from my phone or the apple website? Phone hasn't been backed up for 32 weeks ? Any help on what I should doo!?

    Hey ' I have hAd my iPhone 5s for a year now ' and can't remember my iCloud password ? And can't change it from my phone or the apple website? Phone hasn't been backed up for 32 weeks ? Any help on what I should doo!?

    Go to http://iforgot.apple.com and sign in with your iCloud login. A new password will be sent to your associated email address. If this doesn't work you will have to contact Support. Go to https://getsupport.apple.com. Click' See all products and services', then 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID', then 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password'.

  • How to keep the right sidebar on this website from going under the main content (center) column?

    Hi...is there a way to keep the right sidebar on this website from going under the main content (center) column when the browser window is made smaller? It would be great if the middle (main content) column could get smaller instead of the sidebar moving under the text when the window is made smaller. I'm working with a fluid layout and this is the first time I've tried this. Any help would be appreciated. Here is the link to the website:

    Hi,
    ( I search for iChat questions when I have finished in the iChat Forum)
    So the menu bar reads iChat, File,  Edit,  View, Buddies, Video, Window and Help
    There is no Buddy List open.
    There is no other window for iChat open.
    In the iChat Menu you only have access to Status.
    Is an item ticked in the list ?
    Is this a green (Available item) or  Red ( an Away one) ?
    Can you access the Accounts option ?  (Sitll in the iChat Menu)
    Is anything in here ticked ?
    In the Window menu any Logged in account should appear in the list  (Between the Next Chat and File Transfer items)
    It would be useful to know which version of iChat this is.
    If no account is ticked (iChat Menu > Accounts) or not showing in the Window Menu, plus you cannot determine the Status and you cannot access the Preferences then you need to access your Home Folder/Library/Preferences
    As the Library in the Home Holder is Invisible in Lion you will need the Finder's Go Menu > Go to Folder option  (you can use it in earlier OS versions if you want)
    Type in:-
    ~/Library/Preferences
    Find the file called com.apple.ichat.plist
    Drag it to the Trash and Restart iChat.
    This will lose all the settings in iChat that you have changed from Defaults but there is no way around this.

  • I can't see the adjustments under the Adjustment tab in Aperture. Where is the data?

    Several months ago I dragged photos from Aperture into a Burn Folder on my Desktop. Today I dragged the photos from the Burn Folder on my Desktop into Aperture. My photos are all still edited, but I can't see any of the adjustments I made under the Adjustment Tab in Aperture. Where is that data? How do I get it back?

    I'll cover most of this because I'm too busy to trim it, but be sure to read Léonie's post.
    barbst wrote:
    Can you explain to me the difference between a Preview and the Master image? I checked my preferences and they are set "Photo Preview: Half Size" and "Photo Preview quality: 8 Medium".
    The Master is now known as the Original.  (Apple changed the term.  I don't know why.)  The "Original" is the term Aperture uses to designate the image-format file you imported into your Library.  When you import, Aperture creates a record in its database and creates an Image that you see in the Browser and the Viewer.  Every Image has an Original.
    Aperture creates additional files that it uses.  Among these are a Version, which is a text file containing instructions regarding adjustments and metadata changes you make, some thumbnails, which are image-format files in small dimensions, and a Preview, which is a JPG-format file that is automatically updated to include any adjustments you have made.
    The Original is _never_ altered.  Aperture is a _non-destructive_ photo developing workshop.  "Non-destructive" means that your original files (the ones that Aperture calls "Originals" once you import them) are never altered.
    The Preview is _always_ altered.  It always is updated to include all the adjustments you have made to any Image.
    As you know, you set the JPG parameters (size and quality) for your Previews in Aperture's preferences.
    Does this mean that all the photos I have dragged to Burn Folders and burned to DVDs are lesser quality than my Masters in my Aperture Library? I thought I was backing up the Masters!
    Sorry for the bad news, but the latter is not correct, and the former is.  When you drag an Image from the Browser or the Viewer, Aperture creates a copy of that Image's Preview.  (The User Manual should make this clear.  Currently it is incorrect.)
    Note, too, that your Masters (now "Originals") are never altered.  What you might have wanted to back up were the Images in your Library.  Now -- get ready for the weird part -- those Images do not exist as image-format files.  There is no file that we can access in order to to back-up an Image.  You can either create share-able image-format files from your Images, and back those up, or you can back up your Aperture Library, which, when restored, will give you the opportunity to create share-able image-format files from your Images.
    Aperture is structured this way -- it saves the imported file, untouched, and text instructions telling it how to create your Images on-the-fly -- specifically to save the space you would need to store full-size files of every Image in your Library.  Rather than save "the thing itself", it saves just what it needs to create "the thing itself".  The storage savings are enormous.
    This is why your workflow is (in general): import, make adjustments and add metadata, sort, group, and organize, and export _only when you need an image-format file to share with another program_.  You then share that file, and delete it (because if you need another, you can create it by exporting from Aperture).
    How about when I drag photos from my Aperture library to an external hard drive icon on my desktop? Am I dragging the Masters or Previews? If so, are the Previews lesser quality than the Masters in my Aperture Library?
    When you drag Images from Aperture, you create copies of those Images' Previews.  If you haven't made any adjustments, then they are Previews of your Masters (now called "Originals").  But Previews are JPGs with the dimensions and quality you told Aperture to use, whereas your Originals are whatever format, dimensions, and quality they were when you imported those files.  The quality of an Image's Preview is always less than the quality of that Image's Original.  (I'm using "quality" to mean "amount of useable data".)
    You should test this right now.  Create a new Finder folder.  In Aperture, select an Image with adjustments applied.  Drag it into your newly-created Finder folder.  Then export it's Original into the Finder folder (File ▹ Export ▹ Original).  Then export the Version with whatever settings you want (File ▹ Export ▹ Version).  Compare the three files you just created.
    I think I'm going to be sick! Please tell me it isn't so! I have 1000s of beautiful photos from trips on both DVDs and a Western Digital external hard drive, but I dragged them all from my Aperture Library to either a Burn Folder or a Western Digital icon on my desktop, then I deleted the originals from my Aperture Library. I did this to make room on my Mac Book Pro hard drive. This is how Apple One on One taught me to backup my photos!
    I'm sorry  .
    To back up your Originals, back them up.  They are files.  If they are in your Library, they get backed up when you back up your Library.
    To back up your Images, either make files from them, and back up those files, or ... back up your Library with the knowledge that that way you can create new files from your Images after restoring your Library from your back-up.
    To shrink the size of your Library so that it leaves more space on your system drive:
    - remove un-needed Images
    - relocate some Images' Originals to a second drive (almost always external).  Aperture makes this easy to do.
    Alternative, put your entire Library on a second drive.  Libraries on external drives connected via USB-3 or Thunderbolt work fine.
    In general, a photographer's commitment to an image-management database system (of which Aperture is one) is complete:  it works best when it is all-enclusive.  I recommend against removing Images from your Library either to save space or to archive them.  My personal Library catalogues all my photographs.  Using it I can find, and make available, any photo I've taken and decided to keep.  Once I decide to keep it, it stays -- forever -- as a record in my Library.
    Note that your "Library Set" (I just made that up, but it should exist) includes your Library package (that shows as a file in Finder) and any Referenced Originals that belong to Images in your Library.  You must back up your entire Library Set.
    The Geniuses at the Apple Store generally do great jobs in demanding circumstances.  They are, by need, generalists who must be reasonably adept with a lot of software.  It seems you were (badly) misinformed.  Please recommend this post to the one who coached you, so that s/he makes sure that others aren't similarly misled.

  • HT5372 i cant access icloud from the under the settings tab in an ipad mini....

    I got my daughter an ipad mini for xmas this year. I set it up under my account, but as she was using it. it seemed like it would be easier if she had her own account. I deleted my info and did a factory reset. I then set it up under her own user id and everything was fine.
    My problem is....i cant access icloud from her ipad under the settings tab....it isnt highlighted.
    I can sign on at icloud.com so i know the user id is valid.
    Im not very tech savy and i really dont know a whole lot about mac products.
    Any help would be great!
    Thanks

    You might want to rethink your thoughts about making transferring authority easier.  Making it too easy would certainly degrade your account's security.  If you still believe it should be easier, you can send feedback directly to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
    You will not get a response, but you can be certain that the responsible Apple people will see your input for consideration in FaceTime product development.
