Online learning requires course creators to monitor the pace of students’ progress through course materials. This is where the LearnPress Content Drip Integration comes in.
With this powerful add-on, course creators can control the release of course content, ensuring that students have a solid understanding of each lesson before moving on to the next.
In this beginner’s guide, we will explore the advantages of using the LearnPress Content Drip add-on and provide step-by-step instructions on how to integrate it into your LearnPress courses.
LearnPress is an LMS WordPress plugin that allows you to create and sell online courses like Udemy but with more control and flexibility over your own website.
Advantages of LearnPress Content Drip Integration
The LearnPress Content Drip Integration provides many benefits that can improve the quality of education for both instructors and learners.
Here are some of the key features of the LearnPress Content Drip add-on:
- Better Learning Progression: When a course includes multiple lessons and quizzes, it is essential to ensure that each subsequent lesson builds upon the previous one. By using the LearnPress Content Drip add-on, course creators can set up a sequence where each lesson becomes progressively more challenging, allowing students to understand the lessons at an appropriate pace.
- Enhanced Understanding: The LearnPress Content Drip Integration also makes sure that students understand each lesson well before they go to the next one. So they’ll know the basics well, which is very important for their learning.
- Completion Requirements: If you want to give a certificate to students who have finished a course, you can use this add-on with the Certificate add-on. By requiring students to study all the required content before unlocking the certificate, you can guarantee that they have met the necessary criteria for certification.
- Increased Study Effectiveness: By controlling the release of course content, the LearnPress Content Drip Integration promotes better study effectiveness. Students are less likely to skip lessons or rush through the material, as they must complete each lesson before moving on to the next.
Drip Types in LearnPress Content Drip Integration
LearnPress offers three types of content drip, each serving a specific purpose and allowing for greater customization of course delivery. Let’s explore these drip types in detail:
Content Drip by Specific Time
With this drip type, you can choose when to start your courses. You can decide to launch the course right away after enrollment, set a certain time gap after enrollment, or plan the course to start on a specific date. This feature is particularly useful when you want to align course availability with specific events or timeframes.
Opening Lessons and Quizzes Sequentially
This drip type lets you manage the sequence in which lessons and quizzes are opened to your students. You can choose to open lesson #2 only after the completion of lesson #1, guaranteeing a progressive learning experience. This step-by-step approach fosters a logical progression and prevents overwhelming students with excessive information at once.
Open Items Based on Prerequisite Items
The third drip type enables you to set conditions for opening lessons based on whether certain prerequisite items have been accessed or completed.
By using the “Open item based on prerequisite items” option, you can specify which lessons need to be completed before the subsequent ones become accessible. This feature is ideal for courses with interconnected topics or those that require foundational knowledge before progressing further.
