Introduction

This section explain how to add, edit, and delete subject areas (also referred to simply as subjects) in LearnFlex. For general information, see Target Catalogue and Subject Areas.

Procedure

1.      From the Settings menu, select Courses, then Subject Area.

The Subject Area screen is displayed.

2.      You can perform the following operations:

·        To edit a subject area: Use the drop-down list to select a subject area and click Edit. The screen is re-displayed with existing values (explained below) that you can change. After you make your changes, click Save.

·        To delete a subject area: Use the drop-down list to select a subject area and click Delete. You will be asked to confirm the operation. Click OK.
