A Subcourse is an activity that links an existing Course to another Course or Live Learning. A course that contains a subcourse activity is often referred to as the "Parent Course". Subcourse activities can be set up to replicate a program style format that allows for a user complete other content to meet the requirements for the Parent course. This style is popular with content shared between Acorn systems via the Acorn-to-Acorn integration.
Follow the steps below to configure a subcourse activity:
1. Navigate the to the course you intend to add a subcourse activity. Enable editing through the admin cog.

4. Adjust your Course Completion Prerequisite and Completion Criteria if necessary.
5. Click CREATE ACTIVITY or UPDATE ACTIVITY at the bottom of the page.
Remember to set your completion criteria for the Parent course if the subcourse activity is required for completion.
