Choose a course schedule type (legacy)
We offer three different schedule options for courses, and you will choose one when setting up your course. Here is a brief overview of each:
Scheduled Courses
- Begin on a specific date
- Content is dripped out on a schedule you determine
- All students get access to new lessons at the same time
- Comments & discussions in the course are public to all
- Email reminders go out when new lessons begin
- Better for creating community
On-Demand
- Begin whenever the student registers
- Cannot be pre-sold (opened for enrollment) in advance of their start date.
- Content is dripped out on a schedule you determine
- People will be in different places at different times
- Comments & discussions in the course are public to all
- Email reminders go out when new lessons begin
- Better for more independent study
Open Access
- Begin whenever the student registers
- All lessons are available right away
- Students have flexibility in when they view and access content
- Comments & discussions in the course are public to all
- No email reminders (although you can use Course Messages to send reminders)
- Better for independent study
