Tips and Tricks (Advanced)-Course Expiration Behavior, and Archived Courses

Video Transcription

Video Summary

This video discusses the mechanics of expiring or retiring a course. Users can set an expiration date for any course in the system, and when that date arrives, the course will become retired. The video explains that courses can also be manually expired or retired, either for everyone at the same time or staggered based on when each person starts the course. When a course is retired, it is no longer visible to new users, but those who have already purchased the course will still have access to it. The video also mentions a credit feature, where credits for a course will expire if they are not claimed before the course expires. Archiving a course removes it completely from both users who have not started the course and those who have. However, if the transcript feature is enabled, archived courses will still appear in the transcript section for users who have received credit for them. This is useful for retaining a complete credit history even for old courses without available content. The video ends by noting the option to customize an expired message for users.
