Adding New Activities to Learners who have Started their Program

You may be aware that once learners are enrolled and therefore given a curriculum (their timeline), any changes then made to the curriculum (sections, steps or activities) will not be automatically applied to these learners. To replace their timeline with the new version of the curriculum you would need to refresh their timeline, which would reset all progress made.

You are able, however, to add new activities to their timeline without affecting their progress. 

How to add new activities to learners' timelines

Firstly, make sure you have finished creating the activities you are wanting to add. 

Then, access the multi-action tool through 'Manage participants' on the left-hand navigation menu.

 Use the filters to search for the participants that you want to add the new activities to. A useful filter for this action would be 'show me all participants who have the role Learner', because timeline-related actions can only be applied to those with a curriculum. Remember, you can click 'Add filter' to narrow down the search even further (search for learners with a particular tag, for example).

 Click 'Search' and then select all that apply from the list. If you want to select all participants in the search results, which is useful in the example above where you are searching for all learners in a specific group, tick the checkbox beside the 'Name' column heading.

Use the 'Actions' dropdown box to select 'Add to timeline'.

The latest version of your curriculum will then appear below, where you will need to select the new activities that you wish to add to the selected learners. In the example below you will see that a new section containing four activities has been selected.

Click the 'Apply' button to confirm your selection - but first be sure to check that the number of users displayed on the button is what you expect it to be. 

The selected learners will then see these new activities in their program without their progress being affected.
