Do this step by step

Create a new curriculum

4. Click Add and select the courses you want to add to the curriculum. Click Apply.

Define the settings and details of a curriculum

1. In the Settings section on the Overview tab, configure the following options:
   • Select Days, Weeks or Months from the dropdown, and add a numerical value for Due date.
   • Check the Apply due date to courses box if you wish to apply a due date to courses.
   • Check the Set as a dynamic curriculum box, which means a learner’s status will reset to 'Incomplete', even if that student has previously completed the curriculum.
   • Click the pencil icon to edit the Enrollment settings. Select whether to make your student enrollment Open or Limited. Enable Auto enrollment if you want students to be automatically enrolled into another course or curriculum upon enrollment or completion.
2. In the Details section on the Overview tab, configure the following options:
   • Set or display the current curriculum Thumbnail image.
   • Update the required Name for the curriculum.
   • Copy the auto-generated Curriculum URL to share the curriculum.
   • Use the drop-down menus to select the storage Folder and assign a Topic category to the curriculum.
   • Write a detailed explanation of the curriculum in Description.
   • The Required duration shows the time needed to complete the required courses, while the Estimated duration reflects total course time.
   • In Learning locker, check the box to Hide prerequisite courses when an exam is in progress. This prevents users from reviewing previous courses during the exam. Prerequisite courses will re-enable when the exam is completed so students can go back and review the previous material
