What is Mandatory Content?
With Mandatory Content you can now clearly signify to your learners that they should complete key content. By setting a course or guide as mandatory for a team you will;
- Set a due date
- Automatically create a mandatory section
- Generate automated reminders (coming soon)
This approach is proven to drive forward high completion rates and provide clearer signals to learners of what is expected of them.
How to set it up
-
Access admin panel (admin.edume.com)
-
Go to Learning tab
