Using the Curriculum Scheduler

You as an Admin or user with the relevant permission can decide if the curriculum's courses will be automatically available to the enrolled users or if they will be made available some days after.

To apply a scheduler for your curriculum's courses, click on the Manage option under your preferred curriculum and then select Courses on the left panel. Finally, under Courses click Edit Courses.

A complete list of all courses included in the curriculum will be displayed. From this view, you can configure the release timing for each course by selecting either a specific number of days (using the “days of” dropdown) or a specific number of hours (using the “hours of” dropdown) after which the course becomes available.

The release timeframe can be calculated based on either:

  • the learner’s enrollment date in the curriculum, or

  • the completion date of the preceding course.

For example, if this is set to one day, the course will unlock exactly 24 hours after the enrollment date or after completion of the previous course, depending on the option selected.

Note: The Previous Course Completion Date option does not apply to the first course in the curriculum, as there is no preceding course to reference.

Assignments can also be scheduled using smaller time increments and may be set to unlock in as little as one hour, if needed.

To enable the Scheduler, select Yes on the Scheduler setting and fill in the number of days in the relevant field (per step).

Once you enable the curriculum scheduler, an extra checkbox will be available: "Show only next available step". If checked, only the next available (locked) course will be visible to the user.

Please note that visibility and other configuration options for every course/step have to be set up through the respective type page.
