Curriculum – Course Structure

The NetExam Learning Management System utilizes a hierarchal system to develop the training structure. Curriculums (Training Directories) are created from the top level down and then activated from the bottom level up.

Top Level: Curriculum; this is an organization tool (Training Directory) for the NetExam Administrator. This level can be used to organize your courses into manageable groups. The title and descriptions of the Curriculum are not displayed to the student.

Level Two: Course; this level is displayed to the student and organizes the lessons.

Level Three: Lessons; this level is also displayed to the student and provides a way to organize learning objectives.

Level Four: Learning Objectives; this level is an organizational tool (Question Pool) for the NetExam Administrator. It is not displayed to the student. Note: It is not a requirement to include learning objectives for your course; however, in order to provide testing through the NetExam System, you must include learning objectives in your curriculum structure.
