After the initial jitters of your first day are over and your students are beginning to get settled in to their new environments now is the time to concentrate on your main course assignments. And we've got just the chance to make sure the course is running on time and on time.
This is the most recent update for Courses: built-in content dripping!
With a well-planned program, our brand-new Dripping of content features will ensure that your students receive their education precisely at the time they need it specifically when they're in need of them.
Don't overwhelm your students by forcing too much on them all at once, or having them sprint to the next lesson. Dripping allows you to give your lesson content in smaller pieces to keep students engaged and eager to see what's coming up the next time around.
The new features will continue to grow with your requirements, making it easier than ever before to organize and manage the content of your online classes.
What does it mean to Course Content Dripping?
There have been times when we've had these moments... binge-watching the entire television series in one weekend and then spending the entire night flipping the pages of a novel book, and then realizing you've finished off a full package of cookies with chocolate chips... totally alone ().
If we do something that we enjoy It may feel satisfying initially but, we often end up feeling not satisfied afterward.
Learning could be the exact manner. If students absorb excessive amounts of information in an insufficient amount of time this can result in:
- Belief: Worrying they missed some important detail or made a mistake.
- regret: Wishing they had been patient enough to understand the material.
- Doubt: Questioning if they truly comprehended the info.
- Insanity Inundated by the amount of details you require at the same time.
It's not the type of feelings you want students to have after finishing your class.
This is where course the content drips come in!
Instead of handing your students everything in one go, teaching content drips let you release content at a timed, regular interval. This allows students to take their time with each lesson, remain engaged and also learn faster.
What Differences Will Content Dripping Add to Your course?
1. Build Knowledge A Step at a Time
Instead of allowing students access to all content at one time, dripping organizes each module or lesson be taught according to a specific sequence, allowing students to develop their understanding gradually.
The step-by-step approach helps students feel confident about their success and progress when they move through the curriculum.
Also, think about the lesson in terms of a literal staircase, each step presenting completely new. It is vital that your students grasp the basics before going on to the next. It is essential that they learn the basic concepts before they can tackle more advanced ideas.
2. Get students involved and keep them engaged
If students are aware the new materials are coming often, it creates enthusiasm and curiosity. It keeps students interested, and they're waiting for the next lesson or course.
They are accustomed to preparing time in advance for each new lesson that increases the chances of them staying in each lesson from the beginning until end.
3. Create Content Right at the Right Time
The dripping feature of your course gives you complete freedom to select the time and manner in that you publish your lesson plans and aligns it with the course schedule.
When you're planning to present an idea that demands a little more attention, or preparing to tackle a major project that will take longer, using content drips allows you to adjust the delivery of your materials to suit the demands of both your students as well as the lesson objective.
4. Let everyone Learn at the same time
Dripping course material can be an efficient method to help students move at a steady pace, to ensure that no student progresses too quickly or gets left behind.
When you release information at regular time intervals, you can create a unified learning environment in which all students are advancing by working together.
In addition, when everyone is studying with each other, you're able to easily identify and address the areas that students might require additional assistance and ensure that no one is left out in the cold.
5. Let Learning be Meaningful and manageable
The learning process should be one that students like, not an overwhelming experience. When the entire course is taught at the same time, students can experience excessive anxiety and stress.
Dripping of course content makes it easier for students by delivering lessons in smaller, easier pieces.
Instead of being pressured to absorb everything in one session, learners are able to process data in a slow and relaxed way which makes the learning process more individual and attainable.
Breaking up your material, and allow a few feelings of accomplishment for your students when they finish each section. It helps to maintain the student's enthusiasm and help keep them motivated to continue their learning.
In short, course drips are an efficient method of helping keep students engaged on, engaged, and focused. It's an easy and efficient approach to transform the way you deliver your courses to make learning an enjoyable learning experience for everyone involved.

Dripping of course content was not an easy task that involved a lot of steps and setting. The method used was able to complete the job, however, there's no doubt that this was not an effective method of doing it.

We pay attention to technical aspects in focusing on technical issues and allowing you to concentrate on the most important thing producing top-quality content for your course.
How do I Set-Up the Course Content to drip into Courses?
If your students are racing ahead, it is important to organize your curriculum so that they stay focused and on the right track on track.
Like we said a bit back, Courses makes use of rules to regulate the flow of content.
However, any drip settings applied through Rules could interfere with the Dripping feature built into your course configurations.

What's next in the course offerings? What do we need to say? What's New...
Course Dripping might be the latest and most exciting feature we've rolled out for Courses. However, it's far from the only change we've recently made.
Before diving in to dripping take a moment to go through some of the other amazing modifications you may have noticed inside the plugin.
As we continue to improve the tools available for online courses, we realised that the increasing amount of resources like lessons, quizzes, assignments and the Gradebook required their own dedicated space.
This is why we've made Courses its own menu item in the WordPress dashboard.
Everything related to your courses such as creating a new course or establishing your course curriculum, or tweaking course setting can be managed from the menu for Courses on the Dashboard.
Separating Courses from its own menu item permits you to keep your course creation and managing membership-related tasks separated and more efficient, specifically in businesses that depend on both.
If you're a frequent user, you've likely noticed this minor change. We're hoping you'll find this new layout cleaner and more organized!
If you're only getting to the world of education and you're eager to get started on your learning journey, then you might be wondering what you can do to gain access to these incredible options.
Just open the plugin and go to the Add-Ons section and do a quick search of "course" for a narrowing of the choices, and there you will see all the teaching tools available that are bigger than the core plugin's capabilities:
Keep an eye out for updated features and enhancements in the coming months. In the meantime, you'll be able to make use of our newly added course content drip feature and look into the other enhancements that we've added to help simplify the design of your courses than before!
