CNM Cert (previously known as CNM Campus and CNM Certs; hereinafter, the Cert) is the learning management system of the Career Network Ministry (CNM). The Cert is the service of CNM Cyber that allows for learning and certification management.

The CNM Cyber Team designs and the Friends Of CNM delivers the Cert to its users at absolutely no cost. This Service is not available to the general public; only those users who have obtained the NetConsumer role can access it.

CNM Academy

CNM Academy previously known as Moodle is open-source modular e-learning software written in PHP and distributed under the GNU General Public License. Developed on pedagogical principles, Moodle is used for blended learning, distance education, flipped classroom and other e-learning projects in schools, universities, workplaces and other sectors.

The name is an acronym for Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment. With customizable management features, it is used to create private websites with online courses for educators and trainers to achieve learning goals.

Technology used

The System is built on the CNM Certware. Being a part of CNM Cloud, this software particularly includes:

  1. One instance of Moodle hereinafter, CNM Academy or the Academy, which is e-learning software which is also the basis for this brief course and the one we are going to focus our attention on.
  2. One instance of KSA Certs, which is the special part of Opplet.net that handles examination questions.

In this course we are going to look at roles and responsibilities of CNM Academy/NetConsumer roles. We are also going have a look at course set up, course enrollment, progress tracking, access restriction and how to create and manage a quiz on CNM Academy.

CNM Academy Roles

In CNM Academy, a role is a collection of permissions defined for the whole system that can be assigned to a NetConsumer. The combination of roles define a NetConsumer`s ability to make changes to pages on CNM Academy. The most common role is the student`s and teacher`s role in the context of a course. In this course we are going to look at five roles;

  1. Admins
  2. Course Creators
  3. Teachers
  4. Students
  5. Guests

Admins

Managing overall responsibilities is one of the main responsibilities of the system administrator, using; Administration > Site administration > Users > Permissions > Define roles tool. Define roles tool is the place to add custom roles or add existing ones. The "Manage roles" tab, allows the system administrator to edit any one of the numerous different capabilities associated with any role. The "Allow role assignments", "Allow role overrides" and "Allow role switches" contain a matrix which give the ability for a specific role to work with other specific roles. Roles and permissions are specified by default but can be modified by administrators and managers

Course Creator

As the name suggests, a course creator is a person who has the ability to create a course on CNM Academy. The course creator role is assigned by the system admin. The course creator by default is enrolled into the course they have created as a teacher and is able to enroll students into the course. A course creator is able to view able to view hidden courses and those that are in progress.
