Article Summary

Program structure

Programs are made up of multiple sets of courses, which form the learning path of the program. Once multiple sets have been created, set dividers are employed to allow the creation of sequences or dependencies between each set. See Add courses to a program to see how to set up a program's course sets.

Once the learning path has been finished, the learner has completed the program.

An example program with four course sets defined could have dependencies as follows:

  • From set one the learner must complete one course (course A or course B) before proceeding to set two
  • From set two the learner must complete all courses (course C and course D and course E) before proceeding to set three or set four
  • From set three the learner must complete one course (course F) or all courses from set four (course G and course H)

A program with a single course set.

Set dividers

When adding multiple sets of courses to a program, conditional dividers or access rules can be added between sets. Choose from:

  • Or: Learners can either complete the learning in the first course set or the second course set. The learning of both course sets is available at the same time. 
  • Then: Learners must complete the first course set before being given access to the second course set.
  • And: If both course sets need to be completed. Both course sets are available at the same time.

Set dividers are shown in a program summary page and the Current learning block.

If a learner has been previously marked as having completed the program and new courses are subsequently added, or the learning path is changed to a Then set divider, a learner will not need to go back and do these additional courses because they've already been marked complete for this program.

The set divider toggle between two course sets.
