Where partner progress comes from

Collegial regularly syncs course progress from your content provider.

For each course, the provider sends:

• The learner’s percent complete

Collegial also fetches:

• The course planned duration

How we calculate learning effort

Collegial calculates learning effort using:

• Percent complete × planned duration

Example:

• Planned duration: 2 hours
• Provider progress: 50%
• Learning effort added: 1 hour

Collegial updates this whenever new partner progress arrives.

What we do with that effort

Collegial converts provider progress into learning effort (time) and adds it to the learner’s total learning time in Collegial.

This total learning time can also help complete journeys that use the “Invest a set amount of time” completion criteria.

What we exclude

Collegial does not calculate learning effort when:

• The provider does not send progress for that content type
• The course does not have a usable planned duration

Example:

• Some Pluralsight content types do not provide progress data, so Collegial cannot calculate learning effort for them

Provider differences

Collegial uses the same method across providers, but providers can differ in what they can send.

Some providers may not support:

• Progress data for every content type
• Planned duration for every course
