Apologies if I’m missing this...I’ve searched for it using just about every terminology I can think of, and I still can’t seem to find anything on the topic…
 

Is it possible to time-release courses in a learning plan?

 

I see the option to set a delay interval based on completion of the pre-requisite courses, but I’m looking for a way to manage “overwhelm” during the onboarding process by spacing out the launch of content, regardless of pre-requisites.

 

To put it another way, I want courses to “unlock” to the user every three days. I want the schedule to be followed even if someone is a day or two behind. Day three’s course should unlock on day three always, not three days after someone completed the pre-requisite.

 

Is there a way to accomplish this while keeping the content together in a learning plan?

Hi ​@shanejacques 

So it is possible to make courses unlock based on a self-driven timer in a learning plan.  A question that I posed 3 years ago still stands true.

Drip Drip - Trickle Curriculum - doable? | Community

The best that I could think of to make this happen would be to pair together 4 concepts to progressively move people though a drip curriculum (what you are describing).

  • groups > You will need to add a custom field where you will evaluate if a person is matching a time frame. You may need a few custom fields - as you may find that putting people into groups is easier than getting them out of them with dynamic groups.
  • pages/menus > Change what a person sees on a page by matching the group criteria for a new menu/page.
  • enrollment rules > Based on a person satisfying the group criteria they are given access to X (learning plan or course x / y
  • catalogs > as a person meets a criteria, you can progressively pass to them different catalogs on said page.

Totally doable - just needs good planning.
