Drip content

What is drip content?

Dripping content is a method of releasing your content step by step. In Learny LMS, it's a feature that your students get permission to watch a new video after completing the previous ones. You can lock your course lessons in the course. Your students have to complete previous lessons or see a particular percentage/time of previous lessons or watch a particular percentage/time of previous lessons to unlock new ones. Also, your student's course learning progress will be updated automatically through the dip content feature. They do not have to update the course learning progress manually in the drip content feature in the Learny WordPress plugin.


How does the drip content work?

Your students have to follow the method of drip content if you activate and configure the drip content feature in the course. They have to complete a minimum duration of the previous video/lesson to unlock new lessons.


After completing the previous lesson, your students can watch/unlock a new lesson. If you enable the drip content feature, your student's course learning progress will be auto-updated after completing/watching a video. The first lesson of the course will always be unlocked for your students.


How to configure the drip content feature?

You can lock your new course lessons for your students to complete their previous ones. Also, you can set the time/percentage for unlocking a new lesson. You can easily manage the drip contents on your WordPress plugin within a few clicks. To configure the drip contents, you can follow the steps below:

  • Log in to the admin panel.
  • Select the "Learny LMS" option from the left menu.
  • Choose the "Plugin settings" option from the sub-menu.

Note: You have to calculate your lesson time into seconds if you choose video duration-wise.


There are two kinds of lesson completion roles in the drip content settings. They are-

  1. Percentage-wise.
  2. Video duration-wise.


Percentage-wise:

If you choose your completion roles as a percentage and set a minimum percentage to watch. Your lesson duration time will be work percentage-wise.


Example: Let's say, your lesson duration time is one minute, and you choose the completion role as a percentage. You set 50% to the minimum watch.


In this condition,

After watching for 30 seconds a lesson, your students can unlock a new lesson. Watch the calculation below for a better understanding: 

60 seconds÷50% = 30 seconds [1 minute= 60 seconds]


Video duration-wise:

If you choose your completion roles as video duration-wise and set a minimum of seconds to watch. Your lesson duration time will work video duration-wise.


Example: If your lesson duration time is 5 minutes. You choose the completion role as video time duration, and you set 180 seconds.


Your students can unlock a new lesson after watching for 3 minutes. Because,

60 seconds x3 = 180 seconds = 3 minutes [1 minute= 60 seconds] 


Note: The previous lesson will automatically be marked as watched after unlocking a new lesson. (If you activate drip content features otherwise your students have to mark the lesson manually after watching)
