How do I set the number of hours a course is worth in Thinkific?

When setting up a learning path, you may wish to assign a number of hours that the course is worth, or valued, at and use this to measure a students performance. This is particularly applicable for learning paths that require a minimum amount of learning in a given timeframe.

  1. Open the WooNinja Learning Paths @ https://paths.wooninja.io
  2. Click Courses on the top menu, then click Edit on the course you wish to adjust.

Important

  • The value of a course in hours is applied to all learning paths. It is not possible to enter a different value on a per learning path basis.
  • The system does not track if the number of hours a student takes to complete a course, this value is determined by you, the course creator, and should be a reasonable estimate of the time a student would take to finish your course.
