Good day All -

My organization will be retiring a good number of courses soon, and we’re going through the process of testing how we want to communicate that to our learners. In addition to a banner on our home page (which gives a general message, and does not list which courses will be retired), we’re also updating the course descriptions, and using a Validity period end date. While that end date appears as an expiration date on the respective course tiles, we noticed that it doesn’t appear for learners who have completed the courses. We want folks to have fair warning that that retirement is coming up should they want to relaunch the courses and review any material before that date.

Is there any way to retain that expiration/validity date on the course tile, regardless of the learner’s status in the course? Is there by chance a setting that I may have missed somewhere?

Any insight you folks might have would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Sounds like your users are taking the same course on a regular cycle...if that is the case, have you looked as using Archiving? Once a user completes a course it can be archived and re-enrolled into the next cycle and if your course has settings to calculate the validity period (due date), it is automatically applied when they are re-enrolled in the course...You can do all that with one function…

see if this helps:

Thanks @lrnlab. Our scenario is a bit different. Some of the courses we’re retiring are being closed out completely, while others are being replaced and will only be made available to folks who purchase a particular license. Essentially, the whole structure by which they would normally access these courses is changing, and thus we won’t be using a one-to-one re-enrollment process. 

We just want a way for the course tile to reflect that expiration date regardless of the learner’s personal status in the course, just so that there’s an extra method of communicating that the retirement is drawing near. 

OK I understand ...not sure the LMS is able to do that and not sure that something like CSS would help since a due date would normally only appear if the course is not yet completed...might be a good idea to post to see if anyone else woudl be interested in such a feature...

Much obliged @lrnlab. I’ll work up an idea post shortly. I appreciate your time. 

Hi @LNew - I’m not sure if this idea post would help, but upvote it if so!
