Enabling lesson progression for a particular classroom will make sure that learners read the lessons in the order as set by their instructors. Enabling this will ensure learners complete reading a lesson before accessing the next lesson. You can enable this if you want to be strict about the order in which learners access your content.
A learner has to completely read a lesson before he/she can access the next lesson on the Materials page of a classroom. This can help ensure that the learners understand the foundations before they move on to a higher level of concepts in that classroom.
This article will guide you on:
As an instructor, you can enable lesson progression in your classroom from the materials page of that classroom. Let's see how.
1. Click Materials of the classroom in which you wish to enable lesson progression.
Note: You must have instructor role in that classroom.
2. Click the Gear icon.
3. Click Enable lesson progression.
4. A confirmation message appears. Click Enable to enable lesson progression.
5. Once enabled, you will be able to see an information text to indicate that the lesson progression has been enabled for this classroom.
Follow the given steps to disable lesson progression from a classroom in which lesson progression is enabled. Take note once you disable lesson progression for a classroom, all the learners will be able to read the lessons of that classroom in random order.
1. Click Materials of the classroom in which you wish to disable lesson progression.
Note: You must have instructor role in that classroom.
2. Click Disable lesson progression.
3. A confirmation message appears. Click Disable anyway to disable lesson progression in the classroom. Take note that after you disable the lesson progression, learners will be able to access lessons in any order of their liking.
4. You will see a confirmation message and lesson progression will be disabled for the selected classroom.
If lesson progression is enabled for a classroom and a learner tries to access a lesson in that classroom without completely reading the previous lesson, then he / she will shown a message that "You have to complete reading the previous lessons before you can access this lesson". Let's understand this scenario with the help of the following example:
1. Following is a classroom (Artificial Intelligence) in which the instructor has enabled lesson progression.
2. Now let's take a scenario in which a learner of this classroom, tries to access a lesson ["Classical Mechanics" without completely reading the previous lesson(s) (in this case "Artificial Intelligence").
3. The learner will see the following message (as shown in the screenshots below) when he/she over hovers the "eye icon" or clicks the lesson title.
4. If lesson progression was not enabled, then the learner would be able to access the lesson "Rotary Motion" or any other lesson in any order.
5. But as lesson progression is enabled for the classroom, therefore learner will be able to access the lesson "Rotary Motion" only after he / she reads all the lesson pages of the previous lesson "Classical Mechanics".
Q1) From where can i enable lesson progression for my classroom?
A) As an instructor, you can enable lesson progression from your classroom's Materials page. For more information, read this.
Q2) Can a learner access the next lesson, if he has read some of the lesson pages, but not all lesson pages of the previous lesson?
A) No. If lesson progression is enabled, then learner will be able to access the next lesson on the materials page only after he / she reads the previous lesson(s) completely (i.e all the lesson pages of the previous lessons).
Q3) If lesson progression is enabled for a classroom, then can a learner access lesson pages of accessible lesson in any order?
A) Yes. A learner can access lesson pages of a accessible lesson in any order even if the lesson progression is enabled. Lesson progression will only bar learners to access lessons in a strict order, but they will be free to access the lessons pages of a lesson in any order.
