Learner program experience

Prev Next

Here we have provided an overview of the learner experience when accessing programs. It describes how program information is presented and how learners view their progress and requirements.

From a learner perspective, the program page is organised around two views, accessed using tabs at the top of the page:

  • Progress

  • Requirements

Together, these views allow learners to understand their current status and what is required to complete the program.

Progress tab

The Progress tab presents a structured view of the learner’s progress through the program.

At the top of the Progress tab, learners see:

  • The program path they are currently on

  • The Status progress indicator showing the overall completion percentage

  • The Due date for the program (if set)

  • An option to Request an extension, if enabled within the program settings

This section provides learners with immediate visibility of their overall status and remaining time.

Below the Progress summary, the program content is organised into course sets.

For each course set, learners see:

  • The course set name

  • A message indicating what courses, or many courses are to be completed, for example: All courses in this set must be completed.

  • An estimated time to complete the course set, if configured

Course sets are displayed in sequence, reflecting the order in which they must be completed.

Within each course set, courses are displayed as individual course cards. Each course card includes:

  • The course title

  • A course image, where available

  • A course-level progress indicator

  • A Launch course button

The progress indicator on each card reflects the learner’s completion status for that course. Learners can launch courses directly from the program page.

When there are multiple course sets, visual labels between sets indicate the requirements and order. These can include:

  • Then: Complete course 1 first, then course 2

  • And: Complete course 1 and course 2 in any order

  • Or: Complete either course 1 or course 2

Enhanced Progress View

Available from Totara v20.2

The Progress tab is organised into two expandable sections that provide a comprehensive view of the learner's program journey:

  • Current: Shows the program path currently in progress

  • Completed: Shows previously completed program paths with the ability to expand and view the structure and courses that were completed

Each section is presented as an expandable card component, allowing learners to explore detailed structure and course-level information without cluttering the interface. This enhanced view provides complete transparency of the program journey, making it clear what has been completed and what is in progress.

Requirements tab

The Requirements tab provides learners with an overview of how the program is structured and what is required.

Enrolment details

Learners can view their enrolment details within the programs by clicking the three dots ( ) in the top-right corner of the program page and selecting Enrolment details.

An Enrolment details pop-up will appear, detailing:

  • Date assigned

  • Due date (if set)

  • Whether the learner can withdraw from the program (dependent on the configuration if self-enrolment has been enabled for the program)

  • Your enrolments, which details how the learner has been enrolled (i.e. via audience membership, individually assigned or via self-enrolled)
