You can set the recommended duration of a training module, course, or learning track, and view the actual time spent on them.



Set Time and Time Spent can be tracked in the following reports:

You can only see the time spent on those content items for which the recommended duration is specified. Time Spent won't be displayed for Assignments, Links, and files in XLS, XLSX, DOC, and DOCS formats.

How to set the recommended duration

You can set a recommended time so learners can plan their training accordingly. Here's how to do that. 

  1. Open a content item.

  2. On the General tab select Training time > Recommended.



  3. Set a time and click on Save.



    You can also set a recommended duration for modules, one by one.

  4. Select a module and click on Properties.



  5. Next, set the recommended training time.



  6. Click on Save.



You won’t be able to set the recommended duration for audio or video because the system will insert their duration automatically.

If you create courses in iSpring Suite, you can set slide duration so that the total duration of slides is equal to the recommended time for a course in iSpring Learn.

You can specify slide duration in Slide Properties
