Great question Tim!
Here's an excerpt out of our course maintenance document that we provide our clients:
Annual Refresher Courses
For courses that require an annual completion, planning for this is important. Build in a “refresher” strategy – we don’t want our learners to have to repeat the same course year after year. Be intentional with the design to allow for an experience that isn’t stale. This might include:
- Using a question bank to allow someone to “test out” of the course in subsequent years, and to ensure that there is not the same questions year after year.
- Build content at the beginning of the project to provide some alternate paths. Allow the learner to choose a chapter they did not do before.
- Develop randomized content, such as scenarios, that can mean learners don’t repeat the course.
Keen to see some other ideas!
