Adaptive learning with LearnDash allow admin to apply the concept of adaptive learning to LearnDash and make non linear course pattern for the student …

Prerequisites

Features

  • Allow your students to unlock a child course based on the result of parent course
  • Create multiple course levels/percentage range
  • Associate multiple courses to each level
  • Get stats for each user progress

How It Works

Parent Courses

These course are design to determine the behavior of each student and understand the learning pace/style of each student. Parent course percentage is a total of all scores obtained in parent course quizzes. Set the Access Mode of these courses to Open/Free/Buy Now/Recurring.

Child Courses

These course are child/sub courses which will be assigned to student based on their performance in parent courses. Parent course will be assigned to these child courses as a prerequisite course. Set the Access Mode of these courses to Closed

Course Levels

To determine which “child course” should be assigned to student based on the the percentage acquired in “parent course”, admin needs to create “Course Levels“. Admin can define a percentage range in each course level, child courses will be assigned to student if the acquired percentage fall in any of these level’s percentage range.

Example

Course Level 1 -> 0% to 33%
Course Level 2 -> 34% to 66%
Course Level 3 -> 67% to 100%

Real Use Case: In a parent course, say, Course 1, there is one quiz and a student obtains a result of 20% in that quiz, now, If there is a course level corresponding to this range and If such level is associated with any of the child courses by the admin, the completion of Course 1 will automatically assign the specific child course corresponding to that course level and the student will be able to access that particular child course “only”.

Note: It is important to note that the child courses should be created with the LearnDash course type “closed” so that only the child course corresponding to the specific course level is assigned to the student and other child courses would remain inaccessible.

FAQ

How many child courses can be assigned to a prerequisite course?

The admins can create any number of child courses and “levels” for these “child courses”.

What happens if we have multiple quizzes in the parent course?

If there are multiple quizzes in the parent course, the average will be calculated from these quizzes and the average percentage value will be considered as the final percentage score to be associated with a course level.
