Instructors can require the completion of one Lessons page or subpage before allowing students to move on to subsequent Lessons pages or subpages in the Lessons hierarchy. That is, instructors can require that all of the required items on one page be completed before students have access to subsequent Lessons pages or subpages.
See How do I require completion of a Lessons item? for directions on requiring an item on a page to be completed.
Go to Lessons.
If you titled your page something other than Lessons, select the title of the page as it appears in your Tool Menu.
Select Settings on the first page.
On the page to be required as a prerequisite, select Settings from the Actions Menu.
Check Require This Page.
- Check the checkbox labeled Require This Page.
- Select Save.
Select Settings on the next page.
On the page to be conditionally released after prerequisites are completed, select Settings from the Actions Menu.
Check Don't Release Page.
- Check the checkbox labeled Don't Release Page Until All Prerequisite Pages are Completed.
- Select Save.
Example of a top-level Lessons page that must be completed.
The Week 2 Lessons page items must be completed (or the page must be visited, if there are no required items on the page) before a student can access the Week 3 Lessons page.
If a student selects the Week 3 page in the Tool Menu without completing all of the Week 2 Lessons page items, a message is displayed alerting the student that they cannot access the page until all of the Week 2 items are completed. (Instructors can access both pages.)
