○ The default instantiate settings of a template
Scenarios
- You want to set up default settings for courses on template level so you don't have to set this per course later on.
Required roles
- Designer (to access the template)
and - Administrator (to see the Settings button under More)
Where can I change the default instantiate settings of a template?
Click the button next to a template to open the template. To open the default instantiate settings page, click the button at the top of the page and choose Settings .
The settings you set up here at template level will then be applied to all courses that you create under the template.
If you change the default instantiate settings for a published template, the changes are not applied to existing courses under the template.
If you create new courses under the template, the new default instantiate settings will be applied to these courses.
Which default instantiate settings can be set on this page?
Learners can end the subscription:
If this option is enabled, learners can end the subscription on the course themselves. This can be done in the Widget which will be visible in the overview of the activities of the learning journey:
The tile of this course will become visible under Ended on the Home page of the learner.
The other option you can enable for this setting is: Learners can start the course again.
If this option is enabled, learners can restart the course again after they first ended it. The learner can continue with the course and the progress that was already made within the course will be saved.
Restarting the course can be done by the learner by clicking the Start button in the tile of the course on the Home page.
Not allowed to be used: Here you can set the preservability settings, from when the courses can't be used anymore or after which period the course can't be used.
Learner can delete finished (and/or expired) course:
If this option is enabled learners can delete their expired or completed course.
If a learner deletes the subscription of a course, all progress and results achieved on this course will be removed permanently. This cannot be undone!
Delete learner (if the learner has no other subscriptions) and subscription after the subscription has expired
By enabling this option the account of a learner and the course subscription will be removed when the course subscription has expired. The account of the learner will only be removed when the learner doesn't have any other course subscriptions.
If a learner has other course subscriptions with the status Active, Expired or Ended, these course subscriptions will be preserved (if this option is not enabled for the other courses).
If an user has more roles linked to the account than only the Learner role, the account of this user will not be removed when is option is enabled in the course settings. Only this course subscription will be removed.
If an account and course subscription have been removed, this cannot be undone.
Link new learners and instructors automatically:
New learners that will be subscribed to the course will be automatically linked to all instructors of this course.
New instructors that will be linked to the course, will also be automatically linked to all active learners if this option is enabled.
You can also set up these settings per course. On the Settings tab of the Course page you can set up more settings for the course. You can read more about this in the following article: Course settings - Tab: Settings
