We’ve all been on a course, a training session, or even a conference call that seemed to last forever. Hence, it is important to set the duration of a course beforehand. Again, if we do not give trainees a targeted time to complete a certain training, they will take their own time to finish a session. Therefore, an LMS should come with the feature of deciding and assigning course duration beforehand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The duration of eLearning courses depends on various factors \u2013How is the information logically organized? Are there any images to go along with each topic? Are there embedded videos? What about gamified elements? What\u2019s the content length? Considering all of the above factors, content developers decide on the course duration. And with the help of PlayAblo, they can preset the course length before assigning a course to trainees. Here is how:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Auto subscription to courses<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Auto-subscription allows content creators to automatically assign courses in bulk. It is also defined as an automatic mass subscription of courses to a larger audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Self subscription to courses<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This feature enables users to select courses based on their interests. They can go to the \u2018Explore courses\u2019 tab, pick courses and self subscribe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In both self and auto, when courses are created, the content developer can set the default duration accordingly. Check out the image below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
