Question

How do I remove learning items that have been assigned or started?

Answer

As the administrator

You may sometimes want to remove items that a learner was wrongly assigned or should not have started. For assigned items, if it is a course or award,  go to the learner's Profile, find the item that you wish to remove, click the Three Dots button, and then click the Remove button.

For standalone documents or interactive SCORM files, learners will need to remove these from their dashboard or My Learning page. Or, you may also remove the status from Administer Enrolments tab. For in-progress items, you will need to delete the learner's enrolment from the item via the Reports tab in the learning item. Which you can access by going to the Settings page for the interactive file.

If the item was started from enrolment, this will delete it completely. However, if the item was originally started from Assigned status, it will go back to Assigned status and will then need to be removed as above. If an item is assigned to a learner through a group, you will need to remove the user from the group or alternatively remove the learning item from the group.

As the learner

Learners can remove items from their accounts if they no longer wish to do them or have added them in error. To do this for courses and awards, the learner can go to their Profile page by clicking on their name in the top right and selecting the Profile option.

From here, they can find what they wish to remove, click the three dots button, and then click the Remove or Leave Course button. For standalone items, and interactive files that have been assigned, learners can remove the items from their dashboard or My Learning page. If the interactive file is in progress, the learner will need to ask their administrator to delete their enrolment from it instead.
