Learning Plan Widget launches unpublished course
Summary
Learning Plan Widget launches unpublished courseContent
I am not sure if this is a bug, an issue, or the new normal. We have been using the LOM for years. We routinely unpublish courses so that they can be reported on easily however the user can no longer complete the course. It has never been an issue. Even when you have an unpublished course assigned to the classic learning plan if you click on the course you will receive the message that the course is no longer available (we customized the message years ago).
With the new learning plan widget I just discovered that I can launch courses that are unpublished. I can not find the courses when I search them which is good, but when I have them in an active Learning Plan I can launch them, which is NOT good. So is this a bug, my issue, or the new normal.
