image.png - sequence of opening modules in the course. By default, the option is used, in which access to all lessons/tests in the course is opened at once.

There are also two options for sequentially opening modules:

An option in which, regardless of the passing score in the test (if any), the next module opens;

 An option in which the next module opens only after the passing score is achieved.

image.png - time to complete the course, indicated in minutes.

image.png - The maximum number of attempts to complete the course is indicated. The default value is 0 - the number of attempts is unlimited. If the attempts are over, then when you try to complete the course, a message will be displayed stating that the maximum number of attempts has been used.

image.png - When activated, the last date of course availability is indicated. If the availability period has expired, then when attempting to take the course, a message will be displayed stating that the course does not fall within the availability period.

The course program can be presented in two ways:

  • Linear;
  • Tree-based.

This is the presentation of the course - how students will see it.

IMPORTANT! The lists of lessons and tests display published lessons and tests from the same section that is set for the course.

IMPORTANT! If you have many lessons/tests, start typing the name in the search bar, the application will find the necessary module and put only it in the list, then it can be transferred to the field for creating a program.
