Adding program content

Program structure

Program content can include any set of courses or competencies within a Totara Learn site. Sets can be created by adding courses, selecting competencies, or setting up a single recurring course.

Adding sets of courses or competencies creates the learning path of the program. Once multiple sets have been created, set dividers are employed to allow the creation of sequences or dependencies between each set.

Once the learning path has been finished, the learner has completed the program.

An example program with four course sets defined could have dependencies as follows:

From set one the learner must complete one course (course A or course B) before proceeding to set two
From set two the learner must complete all courses (course C and course D and course E) before proceeding to set three or set four
From set three the learner must complete one course (course F) or all courses from set four (course G and course H)

Set dividers

When adding multiple sets of courses or more than one competency to a program, conditional dividers or access rules can be added between sets. Choose from:

Or: Learners can either complete the learning in the first course/competency set or the second course/competency set. The learning of both course/competency sets is available at the same time.

Then: Learners must complete the first course/competency set before being given access to the second course/competency set.

And: If both course/competency sets need to be completed.

Set dividers are shown in a program summary page and the Current learning block.

If a learner has been previously marked as having completed the program and new courses are subsequently added, or the learning path is changed to a Then set divider, a learner will not need to go back and do these additional courses because they've already been marked complete for this program.
