Unlock-to-Continue Logic: Prevent progress until criteria is met

No shortcuts, just smart stops—because real learning needs real checkpoints.

What It Is

Unlock-to-Continue Logic requires learners to complete specific actions—such as answering a question, watching a video, or reaching a score threshold—before they can move forward. This interaction enforces progress gating, ensuring learners fully engage with critical content before advancing. It’s ideal for compliance, certification, and any scenario where mastery is non-negotiable.

When to Use It

  • Preventing learners from skipping required regulatory or policy content
  • Ensuring videos, demos, or simulations are fully viewed before proceeding
  • Requiring a minimum quiz score to unlock certification modules
  • Forcing reflection or self-assessment before next-step decisions
  • Locking advanced paths until foundational concepts are completed

Why It Works

  • Drives completion and accountability for key learning moments
  • Reinforces content mastery before progression
  • Supports sequenced learning, which improves retention
  • Reduces risk in compliance-critical and safety-focused training
  • Improves course data integrity—learners can’t fake their way through

Impact Insight: Imagine your learners internalizing what matters—because your training made sure they didn't move forward until they truly got it.

Examples in Action

  • Compliance: Learners must score 80%+ to unlock final policy attestation
  • Healthcare: Complete an anatomy diagram before accessing treatment protocols
  • IT: Watch a system configuration video in full before unlocking the hands-on lab
  • Leadership: Reflect on a scenario and enter a response before continuing to peer feedback

Customization Options

  • Unlock by quiz score, checkbox, video completion, or interaction completion
  • Conditional gating for branching paths or role-based flows
  • Visual progress indicators and “locked” icons
  • Automated retry prompts or optional hints to support progression
  • LMS integration to track completion triggers and unlock history
Unlock-to-Continue Logic ensures your training is respected, retained, and relied on—turning every checkpoint into a moment of mastery and real progress.
