Why should the learner spend 4 hours if there isn't 4 hours of content to read or watch? Do the stakeholders want to transfer a live session that would be 4 hours long into an e-learning? I don't think it's possible and it might not be useful. If you watch or read, you also think about this stuff afterwards, how would you track "thinking" in a LMS?! In a live session there may be discussion and questions, so the 4 hours is reasonable, but a course is something completely different.
If you really want to force someone to spend at least 4 hours in a course, the only way to do that is to have content they cannot skip, like videos in between.

Hi Amy,
my first thought is "why?" :D
