Pulse use case #6: Multilingual course environment

Step-by-step instructions to consolidate completion of different activities with the Pulse activity

Updated over 3 months ago

Background

Tina Teacher wants to offer her students the option to complete an activity in their preferred language. For course completion, students only need to complete the activity in one of the offered languages. All activities should be available to all students, allowing them to choose freely without relying on user data such as language.

Proposed solution

We are implementing a Pulse activity that becomes available once a student has completed one of the activities. The Pulse activity is marked as complete once it becomes available and is used as a parameter for the course completion conditions.

Prerequisites

For this use case, we need three activities that offer the same content in different languages. Each activity should be marked as complete once a student views it. All activities will be placed in the same section, which we will name ‘Use case #6: Multilingual course environment’.

Implementation

A Pulse activity can be created based on a preset which is similar to an automation template. For this use case, we will not make use of a preset.

Create a Pulse activity

Add the Pulse activity to the course directly beneath the three activities in different languages.

  1. Under ‘General’ configure the following settings.

    • Title: Use case #6 completed

    • Content: You have completed use case #6.

  2. Under ‘Appearance’ configure the following settings.

    • Display mode: Box

    • Box type: Success

    • Box icon: fa-check

  3. Under “Restrict access” configure the following settings.

    • Add activity completion as a restriction for each of the three activities in different languages and select ‘must be marked complete’.

    • Set the restriction to “Student ‘must’ match ‘any’ of the following”.

  4. Under “Completion conditions” configure the following settings.

    • Add requirements: Enable

    • Completion when available: Enable

  5. Save and return to course.

Result

If a student completes any of the three offered activities, the Pulse activity becomes available and is marked as complete. The Pulse activity is displayed in a green box with a check icon and the text, “You have completed use case #6”.

The completion of the three different activities is now consolidated under the completion of the Pulse activity, providing greater flexibility in combining various activities as course completion conditions.


Customizing settings for different or extended use cases

  1. Use case #6a: Add a notification to the Pulse activity to share additional material on the topic.

    • Invitation:

      • Send Pulse notification: Enable

      • Use notification content instead of general content: Enable

      • Notification subject: You have completed use case #6!

      • Notification content:
        Dear {User_Firstname},
        Congratulations on completing use case #6! If you’d like to dive deeper into the topic, we’ve provided some exciting additional material.
        You can find the material at the following link: www.linktomaterial.com
        It’s great having you with us, and I wish you the best in completing the course.
