Steps to Set Up Pre-requisites in a Course

Learn how to set up pre-requisites in Go1 to ensure learners complete required courses or content before accessing the main course.

Updated this week

In Go1, you can enhance your learners' experience by setting pre-requisite rules for courses. This ensures that learners complete specific content or courses before proceeding to the main course. Adding pre-requisites helps create a structured learning path and ensures learners have the foundational knowledge before advancing.

This article provides a step-by-step guide for setting up course pre-requisites in Go1.


What Are Pre-requisites in Go1?

Pre-requisites are restrictions you can impose on a course, requiring learners to complete another course (or specific content) before they can access the current course. For example, you can require learners to complete "Module 1" before starting the "Module 2" part.


Steps to Set Up Pre-requisites in a Course

Step 1: Log In as an Admin

Ensure you’re logged into your Go1 account with admin permissions. Only administrators or content creators can set up pre-requisites.

Step 2: Navigate to the Course You Want to Update

  • From the Admin Dashboard, click on Courses or go to your My Teaching page section.

  • Search for or locate the course you wish to set a pre-requisite for.

  • Click on the course title to open and edit the course.

Step 3: Watch the video for the step-by-step procedure

Step 4: Save and Publish the Course


Optional: Test the Pre-requisite Settings

To ensure proper setup:

  • Assign the pre-requisite course(s) and the current course to a test user.

  • Verify that the learner cannot access the module until they complete the pre-requisite(s).


Points to Note

  • Visibility for Learners: Learners attempting to access a course with pre-requisites will see a notification prompting them to complete the required module(s) first.

  • Completion Tracking: Pre-requisite completion is tracked automatically. Once the learner fulfills the requirement, the main course becomes accessible.


FAQ

Q: Can I remove a pre-requisite later?
A: Yes, you can modify or remove pre-requisites at any time through the course settings.
