Can courses/learning plans be configured with different start dates / durations?
Deadlines can be set for both learning plans and individual courses. Since learning content in the 3-level system is usually assigned automatically, this is only necessary if you specifically want to set completion deadlines for your users.
| Setting deadlines for an entire learning plan causes all courses in the learning plan to appear early in "My Courses". This can make the course order on the Dashboard confusing. Therefore, whenever possible, deadlines should be set for the first course in a learning plan. This course will then also appear on the users' Dashboard. |
How to find the first course in a learning plan:
1 |
Click the folder icon in the menu in the upper left. |
2 |
Select "Learning Plans". |
3 |
Open the desired learning plan. |
4 |
Go to the "Courses" tab. |
5 |
Here you can see all included courses and identify the first course in the respective level structure. |
6 |
Open this course to edit the enrollments. |
How to set a deadline if the user is not yet enrolled:
1 |
Open the desired course (the first course in the learning plan for Level 2 or 3). |
2 |
Go to the "Enrollments" tab. |
3 |
Select one or more users. |

Enroll the users and set the desired deadline as part of the enrollment process. |
How to set a deadline if the user is already enrolled:
