Jacob, what Kind of Cources do I need to use it? My Logos Now Cources are not there

Have you finished indexing? Most if not all should be there? What is the name of the course?

Lynden I thought Logos was finished...but it start downloading more and more :-) and after that it index again, so I gues I wait till this afternoon

https://community.logos.com/discussion/comment/839957#Comment_839957

Mine is showing 132 courses. Even though I do not own most of them.

OK I'm waiting :-)

I have 213 - mostly MobileEd courses that I don't own!

I see 213 Courses also. Its a mix of m.Ed courses and 'Reading Plans' based on books in that may or may not be in your library. Some of these non-m.Ed 'Courses/Reading Plans' provide introductions to figures in Church History, books of the bible, topics in Theology or Biblical Figures ( I see one created by Graham Criddle on the file of Abraham].

I like what has been done with this tool [Y]

Perhaps its too early to know, but is this tool going to be curated and maintained by Faithlife? Or is this tool something that would enable churches to create their own courses?

I am hoping for both.

Fully updated and indexed but none of my courses are showing in the Courses tool:

lost my bookmarks, kind of. I had several bookmarks that pointed to courses that I was in process. Now they don't open. if I browse to them, it has lost "tracking" what I have completed. when I open a course in Courses that I have completed, it does not show that, and makes me start again. If I open a completed course from the library, it does go to the "last" location (end/final exam), but has no tracking of the sections being completed.

https://community.logos.com/discussion/comment/840078#Comment_840078

Mine is showing 224. I was thinking of Mobile Ed courses only. Yasmin, are you sure that you are fully indexed?

Brent Hoefling

https://community.logos.com/discussion/comment/840088#Comment_840088

mine shows 207 "available" courses - some that I do not own.

edit: I may have been mistaken about ones i don't own. i started going through them and it seems I do (so far)

Yasmin, are you sure that you are fully indexed?

Yes, I am. No idea what's going on.

Fully updated and indexed but none of my courses are showing in the Courses tool:

I believe courses are only updated when you first launch the app. It might be that you need to restart the application one more time for them to show up.

I've restarted the app more than once, and same result - nothing in the Courses tool.

It doesn't seem like the decision has been made but if there is sufficient interest I personally think they will make it available.

One other option before calling tech support, in the command box type "update resources" . Caution this will take some time.

I've done this more than once as well. And restarted my computer. Same result.

Yasmin, sound like you need to call tech support. Sales is in overdrive, but tech support should not be so busy.

However, since the courses tool is powered via the web, there is a chance that bandwith issues at.Faithlife is the root cause of the problem (just speculating here)

Now that you mention it, I think you are on point.

So if I wanted to do this course:

would I see everything in the panel to the left of the course description and requirements?

Would the session exclude the first 8/7 resources and generate a plan with only the books I have.

Is there a video on how this works?

https://community.logos.com/discussion/comment/840318#Comment_840318

Yasmin, sound like you need to call tech support. Sales is in overdrive, but tech support should not be so busy.

I'll wait a couple of days to see if it resolves itself. I'm in no special need of the tool right now and I try to avoid support calls as much as possible.

Same here. No resources.

Well, it seems to have fixed itself. On its own. How? No idea. Checked it out again and there they were (and like, everyone else, I see way more than I own). *shrug* *smile* *wave*

We just deployed a server fix to filter out Mobile Ed courses if you don't own the primary textbook resource. If you restart Logos, you should see that plans for courses you don't own have disappeared. (If for some reason you had already started a plan for a course you don't own, it will still be there in the "Started" section, and you can delete it to get rid of it.)

That's better. Thanks. FWIW, when I re-started Logos I could still see the mobileEd courses, but when I clicked on one I didn't own, they extraneous ones disappeared.

https://community.logos.com/discussion/comment/840330#Comment_840330

would I see everything in the panel to the left of the course description and requirements?

The left pane shows the entire table of contents (all of the sections) of the course. It does not exclude segments with resources that you do not own.

Would the session exclude the first 8/7 resources and generate a plan with only the books I have.

As you progress through the course, some of the sessions will be empty because you don't own the content.

It would be good if this new feature would work with the moody AM Bible Courseware

is this possible to implement in the course tool

What I am seeing is that if I don't own the mobile ed courses that are displayed I can still read the text and the links to the additional resources still work - I just can't watch the video. The video is transcribed into the course though :-)

moody AM Bible Courseware

Can you send me a link to the resource on Logos' site?

https://community.logos.com/discussion/comment/840969#Comment_840969

I can still read the text

Hi Dave, I think what you are seeing are the text of the Suggested Reading/See Also links. If you don't own the Mobile Ed course, I don't think you are seeing the transcription of the video lectures. Let me know if I'm wrong.

Milkman

What a great idea!!

Thanks for thinking about this. Makes studying so much easier.

Does FL takes suggestions for designing new courses as well?

mm.

It is an old resource but I'm still working through them
I did spend a lot of money on them the new course tool would make a big difference to me if these courses were added to it

I cannot find a link , there must be a way of finding information from your end, as you can see from the invoice data I spent a lot of money
