There are three types of communities: generic communities, learning module communities and course website communities.
A community (most generic) would be most appropriate for a school committee, student work group, or social group. By default it just has a home page but users can add announcements, discussions, document sharing, etc. Through these functions you can post announcements (and send email notification of announcements to registered community members), host discussions, use poll and quiz functions, etc. Examples: Curriculum Committee, Surgery PBL Group 2, Undergraduate Cooking Club.
Learning module communities are most appropriate to use if you want to create an educational module for users (e.g. a module on infection control in the hospital). The pages you can select from include introduction, objectives, foundational knowledge, testing understanding, etc. Users will be able to navigate through the pages as you've set them up. You can embed video, images, etc.
You can use a course website community to turn the basic information about a course completed through the course set up page, into a course website. A course website uses a template to create pages like background, course calendar, units, prerequisites, course aims, etc. The Learning Objectives and MCC Presentation pages are configured to auto-populate with the curriculum tags assigned to the course through the course setup.
New as of Elentra ME 1.16, you can copy an existing course website for a new academic year and make it available to the new learners in a course.
Any user can create a community and communities are not organisation specific. For that reason, a community built in one organisation will be visible to users in other organisation.
Click 'Communities' in the main tab menu.
Click 'Create a Community'.
Step 1: Choose a category for your community by clicking on the appropriate title (e.g., Administration, Courses, Careers in Health Care).
The list of community categories cannot be changed through the user interface but can be adjusted by a developer if desired by your organisation.
Categories may be useful to see how users are using communities but there are no filter settings or reports that rely on these categories.
Step 2: Provide the required details, noting the following:
Community Details
Name: Pick a descriptive but concise name.
Keywords: These will not be visible to users but will be applied when someone searches for an existing community.
Description: This will be displayed to any user who searches for or tries to access the community.
Shortname: This will be part of the community url. It must be lower-case, less than 20 characters, and include only letters, numbers, underscore or period. After this is set there is no user interface to change the url so pick carefully!
Type: Select the appropriate type from the dropdown menu. More detail about community types is available in the Communities>Types help section.
If you are creating a course website, indicate which course should be connected to the community. Note that you can connect multiple courses to one course website and they will share their student-facing website. More information about this is in the Courses>Websites help section.
Template: A selection of templates are available but only those applicable to the community type you select will display. Click on the magnifying glass icon in the corner of each template to see a sample of its appearance. The templates are titled with their suggested uses.
Community Pages
Different types of communities have different pages available. In generic communities the only page included by default is Home. Tick off the additional pages required. In course websites, a series of default pages are required. You will be able to add additional pages but there is not ability to delete or hide the included pages (unless you get a developer to change this in your installations database). In learning modules, you must check off any pages you wish to include.
Community Permissions
Here you can control how users access and use the community. Details about each option are included inline on the screen.
Many organisations set the permissions for their courses as Protected Community and Open Community but of course it is up to each organisation to decide this.
Click 'Create'.
You will be redirected to the community and as the creator of the community can manage all pages. You'll notice an Edit button on each page. Click on it to add or edit content on any page. Additional information about managing a community is in the Communities>Manage help section.
Additional information about creating a course website can be accessed in the Course Website help section.
A community can be set up by any user to provide a space to share documents, have online discussion, etc. It can be set up as protected and only accessed by authenticated users and further can be configured to require registration or not, etc. There are three types of communities which can be used for different purposes. The three types are: community, course website, and learning module. More detail is in the Community>Types help section. All communities can be configured to include features like announcements, discussion boards, document sharing, quizzes, events, polling, etc.
Notably, communities is one of the few modules of Elentra that is not organisation specific. That means you can see communities created within one organisation across all organisations and you can add users from any organisation to any community. When users are logged in they can access any of their communities without toggling between their organisations.
Often an organisation's staff maintains course website communities, committee communities, and learning modules. Individual users can create communities for their study groups, professional learning communities, sports teams, etc.
Database Setting
Use
community_display_guest_enrollment
community_allow_leave_community
used to control whether users can leave communities they were added to by an admin
These polls function differently than polls set up via Manage Polls. These polls will only show up to users when they are in a community and navigate to the polling page (community administrators can send a notification to let community members know a poll is available).
As a community administrator, navigate to a community and click 'Polling'.
Click 'Add Poll'.
Provide polling details including title and description.
Decide whether or not to allow multiple votes by clicking the appropriate radio button. If you allow users to have multiple votes you should type in how many each gets (leave at zero for unlimited votes).
Set up the polling question in the Question Details section. Question: This is what you are asking. If you'd like to create a poll with multiple questions you'll need to create your first question, save the poll, and then you can add additional questions. Multiple Responses: Check this off to allow respondents to choose more than one response. If you pick this, type in the range of response numbers each participant can give (e.g., between 2 and 4 responses allowed). Responses: Add answer options here. Click on the blue plus button to add your response option. After your first response is added to the list, type in another and click the blue plus button again. Edit a response by clicking on it. Delete a response by clicking the red trash can icon. Reorder responses by clicking on a response and dragging it to the place you want it to be.
Set permissions for the poll to customize which community member types can view the poll, vote, view results (on an ongoing basis-usually most appropriate for the person controlling the poll), and post-vote results (meaning who can view the results only once they have already voted-usually most appropriate for the audience of a poll).
You can restrict voting to specific community members by clicking on 'Select specific members to vote'. If you choose this option, click on 'Select Group & Role' to refine the list of options. Begin to type in a name and click on it when you see the appropriate user.
If you wish to send out notifications to the community members that the poll has been posted check off the appropriate box.
Set the Time Release Options for the event. This controls when the poll will be accessible to users.
Click 'Proceed'.
You can now add additional questions if desired. To do so, click 'Add New Question'. Questions can be edited or deleted by clicking on the blue pencil icon or red trash can icon.
When you have added additional questions or made other changes, click 'Save'.
To edit or delete an existing poll, navigate to the polling page, and then click 'edit' or 'delete' beside the event you want to modify. You may also see a 'vote' option if the poll is set up to allow administrators to vote.
After at least one vote has been cast, administrators will also see a 'history' option beside a poll name. Click 'history' to see the current poll results.
Navigate to a community and click 'Polling'.
Locate the appropriate poll and click 'vote'.
Whether the community member can view the poll results depends on how the poll is set up.
As of ME 1.16, LTI Providers are added and configured in System Settings to use LTI Consumers in Course Pages, Course Websites and Learning Events.
Elentra offers the ability to integrate with LTI tools such as Quizlet, Turnitin, Google Classroom, etc. There are three areas where a LTI Consumer can be used: Course Pages created when a Course is added, Course Websites in Communities and Learning Events.
Anyone who is the administrator of a community can use various tools to manage the community and its membership as well as view community statistics. If you create a community you will automatically be a community administrator. Note that being a community administrator is completely separate from the user permissions set via the user profile. Any user type can be made a community administrator.
Medtech:Admin. and Staff:Admin. users in the system can access all communities via Admin>Manage Communities and change community settings and membership from there. Simply click on the cog beside the appropriate community title and select 'Manage Community Members' or 'Manage Community.' If an admin user is also the administrator of a community, they'll be able to access a Manage Pages option from this cog as well.
General users will have to access a community from the Communities tab in order to edit its settings or members (assuming they are a community administrator).

The community reports previously only available for course websites are now available for all community types.
Administrators of a community can access Community Reports from the community Admin Center.
Once on the Community Reports page you can apply a filter option to view activity within the community.
Users can manage the communication they receive from communities they are members of. There are two ways users can do this. They can subscribe to individual pages through the community itself, or they can use their user profile Notification Settings tool to manage multiple community notifications at once.
From within a community users can navigate to most page types and subscribe to an RSS feed or opt in to email notifications for that page.
Galleries - opt in at the gallery folder level Documents - opt in at the folder and subfolder level Discussions - opt in to a discussion forum Polling - opt in for all polls Announcements - opt in for all announcements Events - In the case of an Events page, the user can also subscribe to calendar updates or download a static calendar of all currently posted events.
For tips on using the RSS feed, please see the RSS Feed help section.
Click the username badge beside the logout button to open the user profile.
Click 'Notification Preferences' in the Profile card in the left sidebar.
Active Notifications tab: Users can search for and delete any active notifications from here. Users most often see listings for discussion and comments they have subscribed to for individual events.
Community Notifications tab: Users can enable or disable community notifications here. This will overrule the community setting (e.g., if the community admin. creates an announcement and sets it to notify community members).
Please note that these events do not get added to a learner's calendar the way events scheduled via Manage Events do. To schedule events that apply to all learners in a cohort and should appear in an organisation's schedule please use Admin>Manage Events.
As a community administrator, navigate to a community and click 'Events'.
Click 'Add Event'.
Provide event title, location and start and finish times.

Anyone who is the administrator of a community can use various tools to manage community content and pages. If you create a community you will automatically be a community administrator. Different pages are templated to serve different functions and different community types come with specific page types. In most communities you can delete pages or hide them from view if they are unneeded (one exception is course websites which require you to use the templated pages). You can add pages of most types to any community and control which users have access to the page and how they interact with it (e.g. can upload or download files, can comment on files, etc.)
Within each community, a variety of pages are available. Below are listed the pages and their basic functions.
Default Content: Allows you to add any information to the page using the rich text editor (includes ability to embed media and post images).
Announcements: Allows you to post announcements to the community. You can also choose to send notifications to community members when announcements are made. Announcements can also be set to be made visible on the home page (set this from the home or background page itself).
Discussions: Allows community members to initiate and participate in discussions. Once a discussion space has been created by a community administrator (this includes a category and a forum), users will be able to create topics within the forum. The system is set up to allow threaded discussions and users can also subscribe to an RSS feed of a discussion using Live Bookmarks, My Yahoo! or another RSS application.
Note that a discussion page added to a course website will have slightly more options than a discussion page in a generic community; for example, in the course website when you add a forum to a discussion page you can restrict access to the forum to specific course groups.
Document Sharing: Allows community members to upload, share, and download files. Folders and subfolders can be created to help organise files. Permissions can be set at the file and document level to control who can upload new versions of a document, who can access it, etc.
Events: Post events for the community and choose whether or not to notify members of said event. Allows user to provide a title, date and time, and description for an event.
Galleries: Galleries allows you to create folders in which to store images. Permissions can be set to allow users to upload, view, and comment on images. Images will display using thumbnails.
Polling: This page allows you to create polls and make them available to members of the community.
Quizzes: This page allows you to post quizzes created through Manage Quizzes.
BasicLTI Consumer: LTI stands for Learning Tools Interoperability and is a way for one system to send a user to another system fairly seamlessly. This page type allows you to connect to an LTI provider your school has an existing arrangement with (e.g. Khan Academy, turnitin, Quizlet, etc.). You'll need to provide specific information from the LTI provider in the applicable fields. In some cases LTIs are free so you might not need a key and secret.
Please note that for all of the listed page types and their functions, the audience will be members of the specific community. If you want to create a notice to display on the main Elentra dashboard in the Message Center you should use Admin>Manage Notices. If you want to create a poll targeting all students, faculty or staff you should use Admin>Manage Polls. If you want to create scheduled learning events to be associated with a course, specific audience, faculty, etc. and to display in faculty and learner calendars you must use Admin>Manage Events. When you use page types and their features in a community space they are for members of that community only.
Most of the pages included in a course website template are default content type and allow you to add information. The exceptions to this are the Background, Course Calendar, Learning Objectives and MCC Presentations pages; these have some information that will auto-populate based on information provided during the course setup.
Background: This page will display the name and contact of a course director and curriculum coordinator (if applicable). It will also display any content added to the Course Description of Director's Message fields on the Manage Courses>Course Setup page. If you enable display community history for this community, that history will display on the background page. As of Feb. 2018, additional text added via the background page text box will not show up. If you enable announcements or events for this community, they will also not display on the background page (even if you check that they should).
Course Calendar: This page will display a list of all events within a course.
Prerequisites: This page is blank unless content is added.
Course Aims: This page is blank unless content is added.
Learning Objectives: This page will be populated with the curriculum tags assigned to the course through the Course Setup tab.

In the Page Option section, set the page visibility to 'Hide this page from menu'. This will prevent users from seeing the page, however the page still exists. If a user knows or guesses the url s/he will be able to access the page. Scroll down and click 'Save'.
Access a page either by clicking on the Edit button or by clicking Manage Pages in the Admin Center and clicking on the page name.
In the top section of the page settings, find the 'Page Parent' section. Select a parent page from the dropdown options. Scroll down and click 'Save'.
This will create pages that are children, or nested, below other pages.
The first and second levels of menu titles will show up on the menu. Additional levels will show up on tabbed or list menus once the parent page is clicked on. This will appear differently depending on the template you've selected. See samples of different nesting page displays below. The Committee, Learning Module and Virtual Patient templates will allow for a mouseover display of second level menu titles and then will display third level titles in a list on the left side. The default and course website templates will display the first and second levels down the left side and third level titles as tabs across the top of the page.
Locking a community is currently only available for course websites.
