Prerequisites

Require at least one prior completion before learners can start content.

What This Is For

Prerequisite Content locks a course, SCORM, program, or meetup until the learner has a passing result on at least one of the listed prerequisites.

Use it for ordered curricula where any one foundation course is enough to unlock the next item—not when every listed item must be finished first.

Who This Is For

Authors building learning paths in Create. Learners see the lock message in Learn when prerequisites are not met.

How It Works

  • Learners cannot start the item until at least one prerequisite has a passing result.
  • They do not need every prerequisite. The full list still shows so they can choose what to complete.
  • Available on courses, SCORM packages, programs, and meetups.
  • You can add up to 30 prerequisite items.

Before You Start

  • Prerequisite items should exist (and usually be published and visible) so learners can complete them.
  • Decide whether a program or Sequential order inside a program is a better fit than cross-item prerequisites.

Steps

  1. Open the content in Create → configuration.
  2. Find Prerequisite Content.
  3. Choose Add prerequisite content (button may also read Add content).
  4. Search for content, select items, then confirm.
  5. Remove items later with Remove content if needed.
  6. Publish when ready.

What Learners See

  • If none of the prerequisites are passed, they see that prerequisites are not satisfied, with a list of items they can open.
  • After at least one passes, they can start—even if other prerequisites are still incomplete.
