What is drip content?
Drip content is a method of releasing your content step by step. Conceal new lessons in your course using the drip content feature.
Students must watch a minimum percentage or amount of time of the previous lessons to unlock new ones. They cannot access new lessons without completing the previous ones. Additionally, a student's course progress will be automatically updated after unlocking a new lesson, eliminating the need for manual updates. The course creator can enable or disable this feature at any time.
How does the drip content work?
Upon activating the drip content feature, your students must adhere to the drip content method. To unlock new videos, they need to complete or watch a certain duration of the previous ones.
Your students can access new lessons only after completing or watching the preceding ones.
Note: The drip content feature works on Youtube, Vimeo, quizzes HTML5, and video files.
