Giving a piece of content a deadline emphasises the importance of the content and the time-frame it should be completed in.

When you set the Deadline, your assigned learners will receive email reminders so they don't miss out.

  • 1 Week before (if applicable)

  • 1 Day before

  • 1 Day after

Setting a Deadline

  1. Head to the Release & Deadline step for your content type.

  2. under the Deadline section, choose one of the two options:

    • Choose a specific date

    • Choose a period of time

Specific date: This will set the Deadline on a fixed date, regardless of when the Course was published. for example:

  • Your Course has a Deadline of 10 June

  • You published it on 5 June

  • User A is assigned on 5 June

  • User B is assigned on 8 June

  • User A has 5 days to complete it, User B has 2 days to complete it.

Period of time: The Course Deadline will be relative to the date the User has been assigned to the Course, so for example:

  • Your Course has a Deadline of 2 Weeks

  • You published it on 1 October

  • User A is assigned on 1 October

  • User B is assigned on 24 October

  • User A has 2 weeks from 1 October to complete it, User B has 2 weeks form 24 October to complete it.
