Summary
Set up course modules as mandatory for learners to complete. The settings to make content required or optional depend on the module type.
Course modules are available to all customers. Webinar integrations are available depending on your LearnUpon plan.
Broadly, LearnUpon has 3 methods for requiring learners to complete individual modules:
- for scoring modules, you set a score to pass assignments and exams
- for reading documents and viewing video, you can set "trackers" to log how many pages a user views, and how much of the video they view
- for instructor-led training, you can track attendance, automatically or manually
Learn how to set different content types as required, to complete a course.
Course level controls
For a course with multiple modules, the most effective option is to sequence the modules. This feature obliges users to work through each module, rather than moving straight to the final module.
You can drag and drop modules into a preferred order.
You set this option at the course level, rather than at the module level. See Courses: sequence your modules.
Document modules
When you upload documents, you can set document tracking, which tracks how many pages users have viewed. You set page tracking by disabling
- document downloads
- copy protection
Turning these two options off enables document tracking.
See Add documents, video or audio segments to modules.
Video modules
Video modules let you set video tracking, so you can set a required percentage of the video to view, before LearnUpon marks the module as completed.
See Add documents, video or audio segments to modules.
LearnUpon doesn't have an audio tracking feature.
Legacy ILT sessions
Instructor-led sessions, with or without webinars, can record attendance, automatically or manually.
LearnUpon treats legacy ILTs as scorable modules. When a legacy ILT is the only scorable module for the course - for example, you provide non-scoring pages, videos or audios as the course content - the score of pass or fail from the ILT becomes the status for the whole course.
To manage this behaviour, consider:
- placing the legacy ILT session last in the series of modules, so LearnUpon assigns the score after learners complete all the modules.
- add a short mandatory survey at the end of the course, so LearnUpon doesn't assign a score for the course before the learners finish it
Both options require sequencing modules, so learners complete the content in the assigned order.

Note: Learn about how LearnUpon is redesigning ILTs, including its session attendance options. See Live Learning: overview and features.
SCORM modules
Advanced settings indirectly make your SCORM content required, by
- letting you set a course pass mark
- specifying how LearnUpon can identify completed SCORM modules
These settings don't force users to review each page in the module, but do set conditions for passing the course, and completing individual modules.
See Add SCORM content to modules.
Tin Can modules
Similar to SCORM modules, you can require that LearnUpon look for a score from an exam, before marking a Tin Can module as complete.
See Add Tin Can (xAPI) content to modules.
If your Tin Can module doesn't contain an exam, or you have a mix of scored and non-scored modules, your best options are:
- sequence the modules, so learners need to complete each module in order
- add a survey module at the end of the course, and make it mandatory. See Survey modules in this article
Assignments
Set a passing score for an assignment. See Assignments: create an assignment for a course.
When you create an assignment, you can set up automated feedback and a default grade, or with manual grading and feedback.
When you submit feedback manually, you can choose to:
- let LearnUpon set the assignment status to completed
- manually set a score and course status for the learner
Assignments don't have due dates. To set a time limit for an assignment, use due dates and expiry dates for the course, to ensure learners know when to submit their work.
See Manage course due dates and expiry dates.
Exam modules
Exams are required modules by default. You set the passing score for the exam as part of the exam options.
You can make an exam optional by setting Exam is only knowledge check in the exam options. With this setting enabled, users still take the exam, but the resulting score does not affect the outcome of the course.
For courses with more than 1 scoring module, you can set an optional course pass mark. The course pass mark lets you set a Passed requirement for all the modules together.
Note: If you do not set a course pass mark, learners who fail one exam fail the whole course.

- Courses: evaluate learners with scored modules for background about working with scored and non-scored modules together
- Courses: set a course pass mark for setting a pass mark at the course level
Survey modules
Surveys use the same module structure as exams, with 3 question types available.
You can make the survey mandatory through the survey options, with one of 2 options:
- making the survey mandatory, for courses that contain scoring modules
- making each question mandatory within the survey
