One course can be associated to one or multiple dotLRN classes, you must have the lorsm portlet added on your class or the course will not added tothat class.
To associate one course to one dotLRN class click on the link "Course associations to dotLRN class" on lors-central/one-course page:
Figure 1.7.
A page that has all information about the associations of this course is shown. Here you see wich class is using what course version, enable/disable tracking (more about this later).
To associate or remove one dotLRN class click on the Associate/Drop button on the botom:
Check all the classes you want to associate to this course and click the "Associate" button (If you don't have the lors portlet in one of does classes then the course will not be associated):
Figure 1.8.
Once you have associated the course to one or more classes it will appear on the bottom list where you can make the same process to remove the association with this course and using the "drop" button:
Figure 1.9.
You can see the now that the course has 2 associations to dotLRN classes:

4. Pushing different versions of a course to DotLRN Classes:
4. Pushing different versions of a course to DotLRN Classes:
Lors-Central has the ability to show one version of one course to one class and another version of the same course to another class. This is managed in the "course associations to dotLRN class" link on one-course page (Section 2):
Figure 1.13.
There are diferent 2 ways to change the wich version of the course is shown in wich class:
With the "Make Live Everywhere" link on the top table, this will set the same version of every course on all classes. i.e. If you click on the "Make Live Everywhere" link on version number 2 then all classes will see that version:
Figure 1.14.
With the "Set to" collum on the bottom list, here you can select wich version will be shown on every course ( The version number is the number on the first collumn on the top list). Once you have selected the number click on "Update Versions" button:
Figure 1.15.
Figure 1.16.
You can see wich classes are using the course by cliking on the number of the "Live Classes?" column on the top table.

+ 5. Manage Course Learning Objects:
First we need to know that a Learning Object (LO) is a collection of files (images, text, html, animations, media) and URL'S that are all related as one.
One Course is a collection of this LO's (Items) as you can see on the one-course page:
Figure 1.17.
5.1. Learnig Object versions:
The Learning Objects inside one course can also have versions, each one of them can also be assigned to dotLRN classes, i.e. you can have to versions of the same LO but show one version to Class 1 and the other one to Class 2. Lets see one Learning Object. ( For the documentation we will use Overview item). Click on the item name to see the information about this LO:
Since one LO can have diferent files associated, editing one file or adding one to the LO will create a new version of the item. To do click on the item name, this will lead you to a pege where all the files associated to this item will be shown:
Figure 1.18.
5.1.1. Editing one File:
To edit one file, click on the pecil image on the left of the file title, this will lead you to a page where you can edit the file (If it's editable) or upload a new one. This will generete a new version of the Learning Object and also a new version of the file itself (we are going to upload a new file):
Figure 1.19.
5.1.2. Pushing and Hidding Learning Objects:
Now there are two versions of the Learning Object. We can choose, as we did with in section 4, wich version of the item we will show on every dotLRN class. Also we can hide this Learning Object from one class by clicking on "Hide" link on the first list, or by selecting version number 0 from the "Set to" column on the second table:
Figure 1.20.
5.1.3. Sharing Learning Objects:
The pruopose of sharing one Learning Object is for making it available for adding to another course ( More about on section 5.2). To share one Learning Object click on the "Yes" link on the "Shared?" column, to not share one Learning Object anymore click on the "No" link on the same collumn:
Figure 1.21.
5.2. Adding Learning Objects:
You can add one Learning Object by clicking on the "Add Child" link, on the "Add Object" column, this will add a new LO under the Add Child link. You can add a Learning Object on one course by:
Adding a New Learning Object by uploading a new file , you can add multiple files by uploading a zip file (make sure to check the checkbox) containting all files that you are goin to upload at the same time, very usefull when adding one html files with various images:
Figure 1.22.
Adding an existent Learning Object: You can choose to add to your course one existent LO that is shared across the Lors Central Repository. To add one existent LO click on the "Here" link on the top right corner:
Figure 1.23.
You will be redirected to a page where a list of all shared items will appear, so you can add any of this items by clicking on the "Add This Item" link:
Figure 1.24.
We add "Activity 1" from RDLA125.0 Course:
Figure 1.25.
5.3. Reordering Learning Objects:
Items can be reorder in one course by making click on the arrows on the left of the "Item Name" column on one-course page:
