Can I require learners to watch specific parts of a video and set forced completion in a slideshow?
Yes. In Coursebox, you can control which parts of a video learners must watch by splitting the video into targeted segments and uploading them as a sequence. You can then apply a Force Completion % rule to ensure learners view the required content before progressing. This is useful for skipping intros, credits, or focusing only on instructional parts of a video.
Steps
Use a video editing tool (e.g. iMovie, Clipchamp, VLC, or similar) to split your video into smaller segments. Example:
- Segment 1: 10:12–18:43 (instructional content)
- Segment 2 (optional): Other relevant parts
Then:
- Go to your course in Edit mode.
- Select the Videos view from the bottom menu.

- For each trimmed segment, add a new Video slide.
- Upload the corresponding video file to each slide.
- In the Advanced Options, select Force Completion. This will require the learner to watch that percentage of the video before they can continue.
