Time-Release Lessons

Hi Everyone,

Is it possible to have a course set up with approx 70 lessons in it, but instead of having it all available for the student to go through at their own pace, set it up so that every 30 days or every week a new lesson is made available to them?

If yes, then how is this done?

Many thanks in advance!

Hi Jeff,

if you need one lesson a week, you can set the course to the weekly format and build in a lesson each week. But if you do this, 52 weeks of Moodle presetting are not enough; this way you must increase the number in:

course/edit_form.php (≈ line 130)

for ($i=1; $i<=52; $i++) {

hth,

Joachim

Hi Joachim,

Thanks for your reply.

Unfortunately this won't work for my requirements as the time-release on the lessons is student specific.

When a student signs up to our course they start from that day with lesson 1, then after 1 week get lesson 2, and so forth. However, it is possible to have a student who signed up 1 year ago who is on Lesson 52 at the same time as the student who signed up today who only has access to lesson 1.

Do you know of anyway to do this?
