Introduction
While the Facebook LMS is in Beta, there is no cost to use it. To start using it, you need to search within
Facebook for the UdutuTeach V2.0 Beta and the UdutuLearn V2.0 Beta plugins.
The UdutuTeach plugin is the tool used by the course administrator to import your courses into
facebook, manage which people can take your courses and track your learners progress. You can even
assign certificates to be awarded to your learners upon completion of an activity, bundle activities into a
learning path (or curriculum) and enable discussions.
The UdutuLearn plugin is used by the learners to view the courses that you have given them access to
and shows the learner their progress.
The first step is to add the UdutuTeach and UdutuLearn applications to your Facebook™ account.
1) Log onto your Facebook account
and begin by typing "Udutu" into
the search field at the top of the
home screen.
2) Select the application
"UdutuTeach Ver2.0 Beta" or
"UdutuLearn V2.0 Beta".
3) Click "Go to App".

Click on the "Permissions" button below the applicable course, task or face-to-face session.
Click on the "Member Permission" button to the right of the applicable area or job title.
Change the status for the user to "Learner" to enrol that user to the course/task/F2F session.
Revising/Replacing a course in the LMS
Every course that you create has a unique numeric course identifier. This unique ID is what the LMS will
use when reporting user activity. So a problem arises if an existing course gets replaced with a new
version that has a different numeric ID, even though the course name may be the same. The LMS will
now have data linked to two different course ID’s, yet they are both the same course.
To easily keep all of your course data for a given course title in one contiguous report, we recommend
the following process if you update or change the course:
• Copy the original course within the course
authoring tool.
• Re-name the copy as “Course XXX – Archived”.
• Make any necessary changes or updates to the
original course within the course authoring tool.
• Extract the course.
In the LMS,
• Go to Course Management/My Courses.
• Click the “Edit” button under the applicable course.
• Click the “Choose File” button in the Edit Course Content options.
• Select the course file from your computer.
• Click “Save” to upload the revised course file into the LMS.
Note: If the course ID for a revised/replaced course file does not match the original course file ID, the
course SCOs may be duplicated, rather than replaced. This can result in two versions of the course
appearing for your learners – one will display the course successfully and the other version will create an
error message when access is attempted.
How to resolve the issue of a course appearing with duplicate SCO’s
If the course ID for a revised/replaced course file does not match the original course file ID, the course
SCOs may be duplicated, rather than replaced. If this occurs, delete the course from the LMS and then
re-create it in the LMS by uploading the updated course file.
Note: Deleting a course from the LMS will delete all of the completion/user records associated with the
course. If this is a concern, contact [email protected] for assistance in saving your completion records
and merging this data with the new version of your course before deleting the course. Please note
that an administration fee applies for this service.
