eLearning curricula

A curriculum is a customized set of eLearning courses for a specific audience. For example, you can create a curriculum called Beginner, for new learners, and another curriculum called Advanced, for experts. As a Veracode eLearning administrator, you create and manage the curricula for your organization.

You create a curriculum from one or more courses in the same track. You cannot add courses from different tracks to the same curriculum. However, a course can be in more than one curriculum.

Curriculum due date

When you create a curriculum, you can add a due date. When you add a due date, select one of the following due date types:

Fixed: learners must complete the curriculum by the due date, regardless of when you assign the curriculum. If you select this due date type, you can configure a compliance reset period.

Relative: learners must complete the course within the specified period (days, weeks, or months) from the date you assigned the curriculum to the learners.

Compliance reset period

To specify how frequently learners must repeat a course, configure a compliance reset period. This feature is for organizations that need to routinely certify their employees with the same curriculum for compliance reasons. For example, a software company that needs to certify its employees exactly twice a year for information security would set their compliance reset period to every six months starting on January 1. When the compliance period ends, the start date and due date reset automatically.

Compliance reset period is only available for curricula with a fixed due date. Ensure that the start date and due date you specify are the dates for the current compliance period, and not the start date and due date for the next compliance period.
