Currently, Course drip comes in 5 formats. Each of the format calculates the unit/section availability based on previous unit access time.
In WPLMS 2.3 we have added a feature “Drip Origin”, which tells us the starting point for drip feed, that is the previous unit or the course start point.
Following example will explain the difference :
Drip Origin as “Previous Unit”
- User takes a course which has drip feed enabled. Drip duration is 1 unit per day.
- User starts his course on Monday.
- The user accesses second unit on Tuesday.
- But accesses the third unit on Thursday.
- The fourth unit will be available on Friday.
Drip Origin as “Starting Point”
- User takes a course which has drip feed enabled. Drip duration is 1 unit per day.
- User starts his course on Monday.
- The user accesses second unit on Tuesday.
- But accesses the third unit on Thursday.
- The fourth unit will be available on Thursday as the Course was started by the user on Monday, and 1 unit per day since means the fourth unit is available on Thursday, which is the fourth day of the week.
Important Note : If the “Start Date” for the course is set (it is not blank) then the starting point becomes the Course starting date for all the users pursuing the course.
