🏅 Understanding the Award Feature in Go1
The Award feature in Go1 allows you to compile multiple learning items into a single collection. This is especially useful for tracking mandatory training, recertification, or any content with expiration requirements.
📌 What Makes Awards Different?
Here are key facts about how the Award feature works:
📚 Awards are for grouping content, not for assigning it.
Unlike Groups, adding users to an award does not auto-enroll them in the learning items inside it.🔁 No auto re-enrollment after expiration.
Even when an award expires, learners are not automatically re-enrolled into the associated content.⏰ Automatic Expiration Reminders
Learners receive email reminders:Before the expiration
On the expiration date
After the expiration
(See [Applying, Checking, and Emails about Due Dates to a course])
🚫 Award expiration does not block access
Even after an award expires, learners can still access and complete the courses.
🔄 Automatic Enrollment
Award enrollment has now been designed more seamlessly:
🆕 Learners are automatically enrolled in the award when they enroll in any course within it.
🚨 However, if a learner completed the course before the award was assigned, they must click the award’s “Start” button to trigger completion tracking.
🗓️ Award Expiry Settings
There are two types of expiration settings you can apply to an award:
1️⃣ Individual Completions Expire After
Best used when the award includes only one learning item. Although you can still add more than one content, the expiration date will be based on the oldest individual course completion.
🔍 How it works:
Expiration is based on each user’s individual course completion date.
The award is marked "Completed" if all courses are finished before the expiry date.
No expiry date appears in reports unless the user completes all courses in the award.
Expiry is calculated from the oldest course completion date within the award.
Once the course with the latest completion date reaches its expiry period, the award will display the “Expired” badge.
If the learner re-enrolls in an expired course, the award status resets to “In Progress.”
2️⃣ Fixed Date Expiration
This is the simpler option—great for setting uniform due dates across your organization.
🔍 How it works:
The award will show the “Expired” badge on the specific fixed date you set—regardless of when the learner completes the courses.
