Module/Topic Scheduling

Courses content can be divided in multiple modules, and for each module a duration can be specified. In Course delivery module duration can be used to enforce module level scheduling. A module will be accessible to learner within scheduled time window.

e.g. A course contains 3 modules -  Module 1 - (2 days) , Module 2 - (3 days) , Module 3 - (1 day).

Setting Module duration in a Course.

when a course session is created for this course - Schedule for Modules are created using module duration specified in course.

Enabling Module Schedule End date Restriction : For a course session if we want to enforce module scheduling for  enddate, turn on "Enforce end date setting" available on Learner's Access tab. If this setting is enabled, A Module will be accessible to learner from module start date to end date. Before start date and after end date module will be locked. We can even hide locked module/topic in course player for learner's view. this setting is present in Learner's Access tab.

Module Schedule based on learner's start date - System provides a option to set module schedule for each learner based on learner's course session enrollment date. course session enrollment date is set as start date of first module and using first module duration as offset end date is set. in the same manner other modules start and end dates are set. So for every learner course modules are delivered in a predefined time frame set for every learner based on learner's course enrollment date.

Courses created without setting module durations / Course Session default setup for Module :- When courses are created without setting any module duration. At course session creation time Module start and end date will be set as course session start date.

 By default course sessions are configured to enforce only the start date of module/topics ( which allows learners to access these modules anytime after it's start date till the end of course session). No restriction is applied based on module end date. All modules will be available till the end of course session.
