Hi all,

What is the best way to automate the Orientation learning path while preventing learners from working ahead?

 

For example, if there is Orientation on Day 1, the courses are in the system but users should work together on the classes at the orientation site. The users then will automatically be enrolled in Orientation session 2, but they should NOT be able to work ahead until day 1. What is the best way to set this up?

Thank you Docebians!

​@maggiea - hi - so I find myself talking through aspects of this often - but there are two ways of looking at your question. Yours is time based. There are also completion based. Putting a lock time on prerequisites may get you there, but it also may not - because it is actually a blended prerequisite. Let’s take a moment and take a look at it:

Unfortunately? If you want the gate to be completely time based? You cannot leverage the 

Learners must complete some prerequisite options, because you need to support that a person completed zero courses.

IF PURELY TIME BASED GATES - YOU ARE STUCK > A LEARNING PLAN ON ITS OWN WONT DO IT FOR YOU.

So if you are looking to do a type of trickle (drip) curriculum? You can do one, but it involves understanding the start date and essentially a count of days from said start date. You would leverage that intelligence from a persons user profile (as a proposal).

Day 1 you would leverage an enrollment rule to give access to X
Day 3 you would use an enrollment rule to give access to Y
Day 5 you would use an enrollment rule to give access to Z.

If they are all in the same learning plan, you can put a lock time on pre-requisites.  So you could say that course #2 won’t unlock until 1 day after course 1 has been completed.
