Course Collections

Hand someone a programme instead of a pile of courses — several courses, in the order they belong, assigned in one move.

A single course is one thing to finish. What you usually run is a programme — several courses, in an order that matters. In Konstantly that is a collection.

What you'll learn

  • What a collection is, and what it is not
  • Building one from courses you already have
  • Assigning a whole programme in one action
  • What learners see, and what the order actually does

What a collection is

A collection gathers courses you have already built and hands them over together, in an intended order.

There is nothing new to author. The work still lives in the courses themselves — the collection is the wrapper that says these four belong together, and this is the order they are meant to be taken in.

Creating a collection

Go to Courses, open +Create, and choose Create collection. Give it a title and, if it helps, a description.

Then add courses one at a time from what you already have. The number on each card is the order they are meant to be taken in, so arrange them the way you would explain the programme out loud.

A collection needs at least two courses before you can continue, and every course in it must be published before you can assign it. Any drafts are grouped separately with a reminder to publish them first.

Assigning a collection

Assigning works like assigning a single course, except that one action covers the whole programme. Choose the people you want, or whole groups at a time.

Then set the courses, in order. Each one can carry its own start date and its own deadline if you want them, so a programme can open gradually rather than landing all at once.

Press assign, and the collection fans out. Three people and four courses is twelve assignments, from one press.

What learners see

On the learner's side these arrive as ordinary course assignments, appearing alongside everything else on their list. Nothing looks different, and nothing is locked.

Where the order shows up is at the end of each course. Finish one, and Konstantly offers the next course in the collection — so the programme carries someone forward a step at a time without them having to go looking for what comes next.

The order is intended, not enforced

This is the part worth being clear about before you build a programme around it.

A collection sets the intended order; it does not enforce it. Every course in the collection is assigned at the same moment, so a learner can open the last one first if they want to. If a course genuinely must not be opened until another is finished, a collection will not do that for you.

What the collection gives you is a programme handed over in one move, with dates, in a sensible order, pointing from each course to the next. What it does not give you is a lock.
