4 - Course Types or Models.

The types of courses are templates that can then be used to create individual and group courses.

The course generated from a course type will then inherit all the attributes of the typology itself.

To add a new course type, from the main menu navigate to Configuration → Course Templates.

Alternatively, to access the above section click on Didactics → Individual Courses and click the button Definition of course types:

Or click on Didactics → Group Courses, click on button Create from template then click on the Definition of course types:

The creation of the course types is necessary in order to create the individual courses while it is optional with regard to group courses.
