Assessment Due Dates based on Workshop/Class Dates
AnsweredWe need the option to set default learning plan module and assessment access/due dates based on workshop start/end dates.
Something like:
Module end date will be: "Earliest workshop start date" or "Latest(last?) workshop end date"
and different combinations of these.
Assessment 'Scheduling Rules' could then be calculated on these module start/end dates.
Short courses regularly require some learning and assessment to be done prior to, or within a certain time after a scheduled face-to-face session. There is currently no way that we can standardise these due dates, and hence no way to automate reminders, tasks and follow-ups. 'Enrolment date' seems to be the only option currently, but our learners could enrol 10 months or 1 day before of a workshop session!
Use case: Blended First Aid Pre-course learning
All learners are required to complete a series of Lessons and Quizzes prior to attending a face-to-face practical assessment session (workshop). The pre-course learning must be completed prior to attendance.
First Aid training providers often deliver to hundereds of students every week, and currently each one of them needs to be manually reviewed and manually sent reminder emails to ensure that they complete this.

Hi Karl
Thanks so much for your recent feature request and for always giving us such valuable feedback. We really appreciate your ideas and suggestions.
I agree what you have described is a great idea and would enhance the flexibility available for Learning Plans. However, our developers have some concerns about the system performance impact of adding further complexity to Learning Plans. Given our current priorities and the critical projects we are working on, we won't be able to implement this feature in the near future.
I know this might be disappointing, but please know that your idea is on our radar, and we'll revisit it when we can. Your feedback is super important to us, and we hope to work on this feature when the timing is better.
Thanks

Hi Mark,
Thanks for the response. Hopefully this is something that can happen down the line as it would drastically improve course administration.
If it makes any difference, any solution based on unit/class/workshop dates would help. For example, if it was not possible to base it on workshop date but was plausible to base on linked unit start date then that would get us part of the way there. Just something to think about when you guys come back round to this.
