Course Settings and Features
Collaboration, soft-correct answers, attempt limits, and where publishing lives.
What This Is For
On a built-in course configuration page, Course options and related settings control how learners experience attempts and feedback. Collaboration and publishing are nearby actions on the same content.
Who This Is For
Course authors and administrators in Create.
Real-Time Collaboration
Several collaborators can work on the same course. Add people with Collaborate—Collaborator Access.
Immediately Correct Answers After Each Part
Under Course options:
- On — learners get feedback after each part (for example after a question block), instead of waiting until the whole course finishes.
- Off — answers are evaluated together at the end of the course.
UI label: Immediately correct answers after each part.
Limit Number of Attempts
- Open Course options.
- Enable Limit number of attempts.
- Set Number of attempts (typically 1–99).
Learners see remaining attempts on the course overview. Before the last attempt, they get a confirmation dialog. When attempts are exhausted, they cannot start again or view their answers.
Administrators can reset attempts on a user profile in Users & Groups under Content Attempts.
Learner-facing behaviour: Attempt Limits. Interaction with licenses: Content Licenses.
Versioning and Publishing Updates
Published courses update as a patch or a new revision via Publish changes and Increment revision number. Full rules: Publishing Updates.
