Thanks for filing this, @myloothniel.

I have a question for you. What do you expect to see, instead? If the participant has finished the lesson, should we show (when they next revisit the page) that they have completed the lesson and offer the option to restart? Should any other user actions be possible?

Thanks!

Hello @seanlip, Thanks for your response.

When a learner has completed the lesson, it should show thieir progress (that they have completed and they can go to that topic's homepage to take the next lesson. This should happen till they completed all lessons in that topic are completed.

When the lessons in the topic are completed, it should show that they would have to restart that topic from the beginning, or if they want to see how they answered the lessons, it takes them to thier last progress (say i finished lesson 1, it will take me to the last page --which is the summary page of lesson 1, and allow me to go back and look through the responses i gave in the lesson)

I hope this explains it?

Thanks!

OK, thanks @myloothniel. I'm not sure this approach works fully, though. For example, suppose a learner has completed lesson 1 and they want to play through it again. But with your suggestion, if they go to lesson 1 (which they have completed), they will see only the option to go to the topic's homepage to take the next lesson, and will never be able to replay lesson 1.

If we think that learners wanting to start a lesson again from the beginning is a valid case that we should support (noting that this means actually playing through the lesson, rather than just being able to browse through the responses), then I think we need to have allowance for that. Am I missing something in your suggestion?

@myloothniel Following up on this, thanks.

Hi @seanlip, sincere apologies for not following up on this earlier.

The above works actually, we can allow them retake that lesson. When they finish a lesson, it should give them three things :

1. They should see thier last saved progress and they should be able to retake that lesson.
2. They should be able to see the next lesson to be played (something like a clickable play next lesson button that takes you to the next lesson)
3. If they don't want to go to the next lesson, they should be able to go to the homepage

Please let me know if this approach is better.

Hi @myloothniel, thanks for your reply. Could you please elaborate on what you mean by point 1? What do you mean by "seeing their last saved progress" (wouldn't this just show, in all cases, that they've finished the lesson)?

Thanks.

Hi @seanlip yes. Yes, it would show that they have finished the lesson. I think i'll make use of pictures next time to properly explain (if you still need clarification)
