Create a sequence of online courses with this Moodle plugin

Many institutions organise their courses in programs, in which learners follow a series of courses which must be completed in strict order before, for example, a certificate is awarded. This means learners cannot begin Course 2 until they have completed Course 1 and so on.  

While learning programs is something that our corporate solution Moodle Workplace has as a native feature, today we’ll look at ways of creating sequences of courses in the Moodle LMS. One workaround often used is revealing an enrolment key for Course 2 in the final activity of Course 1. However, this relies on learners not passing the key on to each other, so it isn’t ideal! 

Enter Moodle community developer Renaat Debleu from Belgium, who identified the problem and came up with the Course completed enrolment plugin, which enables you to automatically enrol learners from one course to the next one after they have completed it.
