Hi,
I'm working with someone who has many courses, organised into Sets, and we are trying to work out the best way to manage optional courses. We understand how to make courses optional or mandatory within a Set, but the problem is how it is displayed - and how the learners behave!
For example imagine that we have a Set with 10 courses in it. Then we have 20 learners who all have to do some of those 10 courses, but exactly which courses will depend on their role and location. Because there are so many possible variations, we can't set them all to be mandatory. When the learner sees the description that says someething like "Any one course in this set must be completed" they just complete one course even if they've been told to do more.
If the numbers in my example were real, we could probably create enough Sets to cover all of the variations. In reality there are 250 courses and around 10,000 learners - so that is completely unmanageable.
I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for grouping optional courses without making it obvious that they're optional? Are Sets the best way to approach this or should we be looking at something else?
Many thanks
Barry
