How to restrict course navigation for students

You can limit student's movement through the course, making them go through all the information step by step.

One way to do that is by choosing Linear Progression in the Project's general settings, Course progression option.

This feature makes it so when the student starts the course, subsequent sections in the contents menu are closed from viewing, and they will open as you progress. That is, when the student gets to the third section, they will be able to return to the first and second, but not yet open the fifth.

Now students must complete modules in a specific order. This structured approach builds knowledge step-by-step, crucial for courses where advanced topics rely on understanding foundational concepts first. It keeps learners on a clear educational path.

Another option you can take is the Button element, with specific settings.

Add Button to the end of your section, and change its settings to: Type "Continue" - Condition "All blocks completed".

Now students must look through all the blocks in the section, before they can move on to the next one:

Important to note, if the section has interactive elements (video, cards, accordion), they all must be clicked/looked through in order for the button to become active.

Button's settings do not apply to the contents menu on the left, so the students still can jump to other sections, if Linear Progression was not selected.
