Types of a course
EducateMe offers three options when creating a course: scheduled, self-paced, and recurring.
Self-paced courses allow learners to start any time and complete activities at their own pace, unless a specific course deadline is set.
Scheduled courses follow a predefined timeline, where content is released on specific dates, often including live sessions and fixed deadlines.
Recurring courses are designed to repeat regularly (weekly, monthly, or quarterly), making it easy to run the same course multiple times without re-creating it from scratch.
How to navigate a course?
A program is a fundamental collection of learning materials, structured within the learning curriculum through activities: lessons, events (for scheduled courses), assignments, forms, certifications, SCORM, quizzes, flashcards, and peer review mode.
To finish the course, learners need to complete these activities successfully.
