Bug: Course appears more than one in Courseware tool

Harry Hahne

When I open a course from the Courseware tool, sometimes it appears in the list of Started courses more than once.

This happened when I had already started a course and then selected it from the Available list of courses.

This is because you started the course twice. You needed to choose the instance you already started, instead of starting it a second time.

I understand that. But I expected that if you select a course, it would continue on with the one you started.

I can see value in allowing 2 instances of an active course. For example, it might be good to allow starting the course twice is if a husband and wife are both studying the course.

I think there's also a technical reason.

When Faithlife updates a course, it makes changes to the available course but not to the one you already started. This is intentional to avoid any impact on your existing course progress.

You then have the flexibility of continuing with the course you previously started, or starting an updated version of the course and catching up.
