How to set up spaced learning for e-learning

As JudyNollet mentioned, we can’t force learners to complete a course in multiple sessions spread across a designated timeframe. Instead, you can create several independent microlearning modules and group them as a course or program in the LMS. The LMS can then send notification emails based on the planned schedule.

However, I don’t agree with the idea of locking the next module. Why discourage learners from moving forward and dampen their enthusiasm if they’re genuinely motivated to continue, especially when we work hard to encourage engagement?

A better approach is to explain the learning journey at the very beginning. Let learners know how it will unfold and prepare them for it. Then allow them to set their own pace, whether they choose to accelerate or follow the recommended spaced learning schedule.
