Continuous enrollment courses are self-paced courses for which completion is usually indicated by completion of certain activities rather than by the ending of a semester or other timeframe.
When you set up a continuous enrollment course, Pearson Connexus automatically schedules suggested due dates for all gradable activities to provide students with a guideline. The suggested due dates are based on:
- The sequence of activities in the Editor.
- The number of non-gradable activities between gradable activities.
- The weight of each activity.
- Any blackout dates that have been specified.
- The number of days and date range assigned to the course.
Select continuous enrollment at course creation
When creating a new course, you have the option to make it continuous enrollment:
- With the Admin app: How do I create and manage my domain courses?
- With the Teacher app: How do I create a course?
