Course issues

Karin Sandoval

I am running into significant annoyances with courses on Logos.

I cannot have two separate courses open in separate tabs of Logos on my PC. If I try to go to another course, it updates the tab with the current course even if I start in a separate tab to access another course.
Courses will not automatically take me to where I was at. Instead, I have to press start every time I enter back into a course and click through all sections that were complete to get to the content that has not been completed. I sometimes use my PC and at other times my ipad.
Quizzes are unavailable on ipad.
There is no way to flag or report questions in the quiz that are wrong based upon the content.

It's been some time since took a Logos course, but I'm pretty sure I'm remembering correctly that the first two issues, at least, did not occur for me. I liked some aspects of the Course Tool, but disliked other aspects, and wound up not using it. So I wonder if you are using the Course Tool — if you are, try opening the course without the Course Tool, just as a regular resource. My memory is that I had no problem at all having two courses open at once in different tabs, and as long as I had "synced" Logos before closing the course, reopening that resource opened it up to where I left off. I'm guessing that the Course Tool may be causing your problems. I've never used Logos on a tablet, so I don't know about that.

Thank you for your response. Yes, I am using the course tool as it's the easiest way to find and access courses. Placed it into short-cuts for easy access.

Will try sync to see if that helps. It still has all the content I've entered in and my notes, but I have to click through every single time to get to new content, which gets very old.

I'm appending a screen capture of the layout I made for course BI291 ("The Apocrypha: Witness Between the Testaments") (see the left-most red ellipse.) I'm embarrassed to admit that I got caught up in other things and have never finished it. I REALLY like Professor David deSilva, and I need to go back and finish it. But notice that I also have open another course in a related topic open in another tab that I had already taken, NT202 ("A Survey of Jewish History and Literature from the Second Temple Period") (see the right-most red ellipse). This shows you how the layout opened, and notice that both of the courses are NOT at their beginning, but where I left them when I last opened that layout!

Notice too, though, that I'm NOT using the Course Tool! I urge you to try opening the courses from the Library without using the Course Tool and see if you are able to do what you want with two courses at the same time that way. You also may wish to create a layout for this project, so that everything you want will automatically be there when you open it. You'd just set up your Logos workspace with everything you need for this project, then go to "Layouts" on the main menu, and click on "Save as Named Layout," and from that time on, when you open Layouts whatever name you gave that layout should be in the list, and when you click on it, everything will open just as it was the last time you used that layout (so long as you also update the layout when you're done for the day, before closing it).

Went through the libraries and now have to courses side by side! Thank you!!!
