Sessions
In Smart Courses, when a user starts a course, a session is automatically created. The details of the sessions are reported in the Insights module.
A session can have two statuses:
- Started
- Finished
Depending on the type of the course, the session rules are different:
Regular course
In a regular course, the attendee is not required to take any action to finish the course. The finished status depends on the percentage of visited capsules. If the user attends 100% of the capsules, the course is considered as finished.
In a regular course, an attendee can update the already answered questions when revisiting the course. The new answers are updated in the insights module. There are no limited attempts in the regular course mode.
Exam mode
In an Exam mode course, manual action is required to validate the exam and mark the session as finished. The attendee must click on the finish exam button to mark the exam session as finished.
In an Exam mode course, the attendee has only one attempt per question. However, the attendee may retake the exam if :
- There are remaining course attempts left (check Maximum exam attempts option)
- A course administrator resets the session from the course insights module
When revisiting an exam, Smart Courses will invite the attendee to retake the exam if there are remaining attempts. The attendee can also retake the exam through the New attempt button on the final screen.
