Getting Started with Creating Courses

With ELM System, you can create, manage, maintain, and conduct online training courses for multiple audiences:

  • Election workers, who are maintained in the voter registration database (for example, in Voter Focus)
  • ELM students, who are added directly to the ELM system, such as internal staff  

For election worker courses, much of the course creation and administration process must be done from Voter Focus. ELM System is integrated with Voter Focus, enabling election worker managers to easily create courses and invite and de-invite election workers to a course from the familiar Voter Focus interface, while allowing course content creators and administrators to create content, host, and track courses from the easy-to-use ELM system interface.

For ELM students courses, the course and content creation and course administration is handled entirely within the ELM System. The ELM System interface provides you with options to create users, invite and de-invite election workers to a course, and conduct courses for these audiences.

To help you get started, the table below provides a high level overview of where to begin.
