Staggered assignments
Staggered assignments in programs give learners access to the right content at the right time, without overwhelming them with one-time notification bombs. It also saves time for admins. Instead of manually assigning content with the right time intervals, you can set up an automated schedule to do it for you.
What are staggered assignments?
💡 Programs are made up of individual content steps and for each step, a course, live or path can be allocated
Each step in programs can be assigned to learners with a pre-defined delay relative to previous steps.
Each step can have its own specified due date.
Every time program steps are modified, a new version is created. Learners enrolled into the program can be upgraded to the latest version.
How to stagger content assignment and set due dates
While adding content to your program you are presented with options to assign that content
Assignment
Under the Assign column you can either assign the step Immediately or After delay:
Immediately
If it’s the 1st step in the program, learners are assigned once they have been enrolled to the program
If its the 2nd step or later, that step is assigned at the same time as the previous step
After delay
If it’s the 1st step in the program, learners are assigned X days after they have been enrolled to the program
If its the 2nd step or later, that step is assigned X days after the previous step
Due date
Under the Due date column you can set the following due dates for the content step:
No due date - there is no time limit on learners have to complete this step
Relative to assignment - due date is X days after it is assigned
Specific date - choose a specific date the step is due by
See the video demonstration below showing you how to stagger assignments and add due dates relative to those assignment dates:
