Upgrade by November 25, 2017. .. _Course Highlight Message: ================================ Course Highlight Email ================================ EdX sends Course Highlight messages for both Instructor-paced and Self-paced courses. The logic for when the message is sent depends on the Course pacing. * Instructor-paced: * Highlights are sent every seven days after a learner enrolls in a course. * Self-paced: * Highlights are sent based on the due dates calculated from the learner's enrollment date, the number of sections in the course, and the expected duration of the course (known as a Personalized Learner Schedule). Once the calculated due date for a section has passed, the highlights for the next section are sent out. * Example: Section 2 ends on December 3, 2020 for a specific learner based on their Schedule. Section 3 highlights will be sent out on December 4, 2020 for that learner. * **Note**: This could result in highlights being sent out every few days (3/4 days) in shorter expected duration courses with many sections or longer than a week (10+ days) in longer expected duration courses with few sections.
