Can I extend the end date of a finished session?

No.

However, workarounds exist.

Create a new path session

Users who completed courses in the finished session will not have to play them again — so, not too much time wasted.

If the finished session was a path session

1. Make sure to uncheck the option Mandatory replay in the settings of the path (section Build your training). If you must keep that option checked (because other sessions require it), duplicate the path.
2. Create a new path session.
   • Enroll the users who couldn’t finish the previous session.

Make sure to uncheck the option Mandatory replay in the settings of the path (section Build your training).

If the finished session was a program session

1. Create a path.
   • Replicate the structure of your program template.
   • Make sure to uncheck the option Mandatory replay in the settings of the path (section Build your training).
2. Create a path session.
   • Enroll the users who couldn’t finish the previous session.

This solution holds both advantages of speeding up your migration (see Programs to paths migration), and benefit from the paths native features — particularly the one where learners don’t have to play again courses they’ve already completed.

Create new, adaptive program sessions

Use this solution only if you must use programs instead of paths. This idea here is to create truncated versions of the original session, adapted to where the assigned users were when it finished.

1. Go to the original session’s statistics.
2. In the section Progress by course, click on each histogram bar to see the list of Learners at each step of the program.
3. For each bar, duplicate the program template, remove the blocks that the Learners finished, and invite them to the new session. 

Share courses in the catalog

If having a 100 % completion rate to the session isn’t critical, if your path or program contains only courses, and if those courses don’t contain open-ended questions, you can share those courses the Catalog, so that users who couldn’t finish them in the session can still play them.

You can also add requirements to force the order in which courses are played.

Statistics for courses played through the Catalog are available in course statistics, but not path session statistics or program session statistics.
