Select the content for a course

The core elements of courses are the modules your learners will complete. A course can contain one or more modules and you can use a variety of different types of modules to make up the course.

Resources are content (videos, files, video links) you can provide to your learners and they can choose to work through it to support their learning.

Modules and resources need to be uploaded into Breeio before they can be added into a course. 

Selecting the content for a course

1. Course order - think about if you want your learners to complete the course in a specific order – select ‘in any order’ or ‘in the specified order only’ option.

2. Adding the module - use the search function to find the module you want to use (you can change the title the user will see) and set the completion criteria:

Req'd

Tick the box if the module is required for the course to be completed. There are a few ways in which a module can be marked as complete:

  • Document, file bundle or weblink - learner confirms they have read the content.
  • SCORM or xAPI, e-learning or video module - Breeio automatically indicates the learner has completed it.
  • Instructor-led module - learner will complete the module when they have been marked as 'attended' on the instructor-led event.
  • Practical module - when the appropriate sign off has been completed.

If the 'Req'd' box is left unticked the module does not need to be completed for the course to be completed (if other required elements of the course have been completed).

Delay days

This will only appear if you have selected the option that candidates can complete modules 'in the specified order only'.

The system will default to '0' which means as soon as the module above it has been completed the next module will unlock.

You can change this to another number and the system will unlock the next module after the number of days specified and the learner will be sent an email to notify them.

Retake

Tick the box if the learner can retake the module without it being reassigned.

Specify the pass mark If the module is a test, add the pass mark.
Ellipsis

This presents a menu for you to easily change the order and delete the modules.

Repeat pattern

This feature enables you to change the pattern of modules available to the learner at different times. There are a number of patterns to choose from.

  • Always – module will be presented every time the course is assigned.
  • 1st time only - module will only be presented the first time the course is assigned to learner – subsequent assignments/renewals of the course will not present this module to be completed.
  • 2nd time onwards – module will only be presented after the first completion – subsequent assignments/renewals will always present this module to be completed.
  • 3rd time onwards – module will only be presented after the first two completions – subsequent assignments/renewals will always present this module to be completed.
  • 2-step sequence ׀ first – module will be presented the first time the course is assigned. The next time the module will be presented will be on the third assignment/renewal.
  • 2-step sequence ׀ second – module will be presented the second time the course is assigned/renewed. The next time the module will be presented will be on the fourth assignment/renewal.
  • 3-step sequence ׀ step 1 – module will be presented the first time the course is assigned. The next time the module will be presented will be on the fourth assignment/renewal.
  • 3-step sequence ׀ step 2 – module will be presented the second time the course is assigned. The next time the module will be presented will be on the fifth assignment/renewal.
  • 3-step sequence ׀ step 3 – module will be presented the first time the course is assigned. The next time the module will be presented will be on the sixth assignment/renewal.
  • 3-step sequence ׀ steps 1 and 2 – module will be presented the first and second time the course is assigned. The next time the module will be presented will be on the fourth and fifth assignment/renewal.
  • 3-step sequence ׀ steps 2 and 3 – module will be presented the second and third time the course is assigned. The next time the module will be presented will be on the fifth and sixth assignment/renewal.
  • 3-step sequence ׀ steps 1 and 3 – module will be presented the first and third time the course is assigned. The next time the module will be presented will be on the fourth and sixth assignment/renewal.
