Courses: sequence your modules

Elizabeth
  • Updated

Summary

For courses with 2+ modules, set the order that your learners access the modules. You can make exceptions for assignments and checklists.

Availability: all customers

Sequencing and bypassing sequencing

When you add a second module to your course, LearnUpon offers additional options to manage your content. One option is to put the modules in a specific order, or sequence. 

Sequence your content has 2 effects:

  • sets the order of the modules which learners can access the course: learners cannot skip a module and return to it later
  • requires learners to complete, or pass, their current module to access the next available module

For assignment, checklist and eSignature modules, LearnUpon lets you bypass sequencing.

Assignments and checklists can require instructors to spend longer times with individual learners. After submitting an assignment or requesting assessment for a checklist, learners are waiting on the instructor to respond.

When you add an eSignature module to a course, it becomes a required part of the course. Learners cannot complete the course without entering their name. 

To avoid a "bottleneck", the Bypass sequencing options let learners continue the course. Their course progress isn’t affected by the pace of the instructor’s assignment feedback or checklist reviews, or a signature requirement

The options to bypass sequencing appear only if your course includes these module types.

Set content options to sequence course modules

  1. From main navigation go to Courses > course name.
  2. From center navigation, choose Content > Content Options.
  3. Turn on Sequence your content.
  4. Optional: for courses with assignments or checklists, select 1 or both of:
    • Bypass sequencing for assignments
    • Bypass sequencing for checklists
  5. Save to finish.

The following screenshot shows Content Options, with the bypass option for 2 module types turned on.

Sequencing and Live Learning sessions

Sequencing applies to all modules, with specific bypass options for assignment, checklist and eSignature  modules.

When your courses include Live Learning modules, you can optionally allow learners to select their own sessions.

See

When you let learners choose their own sessions, these sessions could occur out of sequence from the rest of the course content, depending on session availability. For example:

  • learners could attend an ILT session while waiting for feedback on an assignment
  • learners could attend the next available session, scheduled before they complete related modules

This flexibility allows the widest range of schedule options for learners and learning owners.  

Tip: to prevent learners from accessing ILT sessions ahead of required learning, create a learning path of 2 courses. Course 1 contains required content, Course 2 contains Live Learning session options.
