Programs is a comprehensive set of plugins designed to implement programs, also known as learning pathways. This functionality enables educators, administrators, and organizations to create structured, sequential learning journeys tailored to meet diverse learning goals and requirements. The robust features of Programs provide enhanced flexibility and automation, making it an indispensable tool for managing complex educational or training offerings.

Key Features

• Hierarchical Program Content: Programs allow administrators to design learning pathways by creating a hierarchy of courses and course sets. Flexible sequencing rules enable structured progression through content, ensuring that students advance in a logical and pedagogically sound order. Programs support prerequisites, parallel course sets, and completion criteria to match varied training needs.

• Program Catalogue: The integrated Program Catalogue provides an intuitive interface where students can explore available programs and view associated courses. This feature simplifies the discovery of learning opportunities and helps students identify programs that align with their academic or professional objectives.

• Diverse Student Allocation Methods: Programs support multiple allocation methods, allowing administrators to enroll students into programs based on criteria such as manual assignment, cohort membership, category alignment, or custom rules. This flexibility ensures that enrollment can be tailored to fit organizational workflows.

• Advanced Program Scheduling Settings: Programs include robust scheduling options, enabling administrators to define precise start and end dates for programs. These settings ensure that students progress at appropriate times, with the ability to enforce deadlines and control access to program content.

• Efficient Course Enrolment Automation: Programs automate the process of enrolling students into courses within a program. This reduces administrative workload and ensures that students are enrolled in the correct courses at the right times based on the program's sequencing rules and schedules.

• "My Programs" Dashboard Block: The "My Programs" dashboard block offers students a centralized view of their enrolled programs, completed courses, and overall progress. This user-friendly feature helps students stay organized and motivated throughout their learning journey.

• Training Value Custom Course Field: Programs include a customizable "Training Value" field, allowing administrators to assign and display metadata related to the value or significance of individual courses within a program. It highlights the importance of specific courses or helps students prioritize their efforts.

• User-Friendly Program Management Interface: The program management interface is designed for ease of use, enabling administrators to efficiently create, modify, and manage programs. Its intuitive layout and accessible tools make it straightforward to configure complex learning pathways, even for those with limited technical expertise.
