Define a set duration for a learning object for each delegate

Question

Hi All,
I am deploying some elearning content through OLM. This will be part of an induction course, and I want the actual class available for 3 months for each learner. However, what I dont want to do is create a new class for each learner. Is there a way I can make the learning object available for three months for each new enrolment without having to create a defined start and end date for each class.
In essence I have a class that I want to be open ended but once someone enrolls they get 3 months to complete. Apologies if I have missed something obviios.
Cheers All
Carl

I can't think of a way to make the class available to a learner for just 3 months.
To accomplish what you're trying to do, we have created a Descriptive Flex Field at the Class/Enrollment level called "Completion Due Date."
We have also set up a process that runs every Monday to identify anyone who was a new hire in the past week and enroll them in certain classes, with a completion due date assigned of sysdate + some # of days.
So you could establish a similar process and say the due date is 90 days from sysdate.
We have also established a reminder email via alert that is generated 7 days before the completion due date.
You can accomplish something similar with a Learning Path, but we can't auto-enroll learners in a Learning Path via API (although I've received conflicting information about the ability to do this), and we value the ability to enroll people directly, rather their having to search for the class or learning path.
A certification may be able to do what you want too, but conceptually and functionally I don't know if it's fit for what it sounds like you want to do.
Hope that's helpful.
