Configuring prerequisites for ILTs within a learning plan

Hello! I’d like to get some perspective from the community. Currently, we require users to complete three ILTs during their technical onboarding.

 

  • Learning Plan 1 - The Basics:
    • eLearning 1
    • eLearning 2
    • eLearning 3
    • ILT/Session 1
    • ILT/Session 2
  • Learning Plan 2 - Advanced: (users must complete session 1 and 2 to unlock)
    • ILT/Session 3


The challenge is that users cannot register for session 3 before completing session 1 and session 2. Because of this restriction, there is an inevitable gap between when users complete session 1 and 2 and when they can register and complete session 3. Users want to be able to register for all 3 at the same time. At a glance, the solution might be to just put session 3 in the first learning plan, but we encountered challenges were users were enrolling into the sessions out of order. And yes, this does happen between session 1 and 2 as well, which requires admin intervention. 

 

It’s important to note that these are recurring ILTs/Sessions. We continuously add new sessions to each ILT throughout the year.

 

Is there a more efficient way to manage this? The ideal logic we need is to be able to allow registration to all ILTs, but restrict session enrollments by date. For example, if you register for ILT 1 on July 30, then you can only register ILT 2 on or after July 31. And, if you register for ILT 2 on July 31, you can only register for ILT 3 on or after Aug 1.

As you mentioned in the last part of your post, if you remove any pre-reqs in the LP but only allow users to enrol in the ILT session as of a specific date, would that work? You can use the hard date to lock them out on the same date the ILT Session is added to the course however you would need to remove or change that date at some point to allow them to actually enrol in a session and somehow communicate that session enrolments are open as of a certain date/time. Not ideal for sure...Only option I can think of at the moment. Ideally we would need a proper enrolment validity period for Sessions like we have on eLearning courses

Thanks for the insights ​@lrnlab. You confirmed my suspicion that there was no way to automate this without a workaround or manual intervention.
