I'm looking for opinions - I should say at the start I don't think there's a right answer to this!
I'm developing a learning package for a client which may have 1 to 1.5 hours of study overall. The overall topic is easily separate-able into some 8 learning modules.
(I had a prior experience with an SL course of similar duration. The business requestor wanted one integrated course. The L&D pro in charge of importing it to the LMS asked for it to be split into 5 separately published courses!)
Now I have the dilemma of creating 8 Rise Courses, or 1 Course with 8 Lessons. Either is easily possible but I am interested in any experiences or opinions on this.
my 2 cents worth - I would do 1 course with 8 lessons and let the user exit and resume - LMS courses the learners can exit and resume with their progress intact. The course will automatically pick up where they left off.
i'm deeply ambivalent about this issue. since wendy has already put a vote in for 1 course, l'll put in a vote for 8. i often find completing 8 separate small things more satisfying than completing 1 big thing. i don't think i'm alone in that.
Are your learners in an LMS where gamification is present? If so, I'd lean towards 8 different courses.
If not, I'd lean the opposite way. However, it's not a far lean. :) Do whatever makes sense for you and your learners. If they are a one-and-done group, give them one course. If they seem like they'd prefer chunks, present them with separate courses.

Hi John,
There's certainly not a wrong answer here!
