In perfect world I would see a Course category like this: - Module 1 | - Lesson 1 | - Lesson 2 | - Lesson 3 | - Lesson 4 | - Lesson 5 - Module 3 | - Lesson 1 `(user opened all the threads up to here)` **| - Lesson 2 | - Lesson 3** **| - Lesson 4 | - Lesson 5** **- Module 3 | - Lesson 1 | - Lesson 2 | - Lesson 3 | - …** Forum Topics marked in **bold** are unread, the ones that are regular are read. @pfaffman My courses are not cohort-based, nor I need to differentiate the classes. All material is all the same for all members at all times. Now the issue is that in the scenario like this, if someone adds a new comment to Lesson 3 in Module 1, this Topic will again be marked as unread. This is what I want to avoid. So what I’d like to achieve here is something somewhat similar to the Docs plugin - where you can read the post (in my case: watch the video) and only then it gives you the link to _View the discussion on this topic_. ![SIADLAK-Screenshot-202408232132rdrhz](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/f/4/8/f48e231c08d35d0b5ea91bd01f59f0ad2dc09957.png) That’s exactly what I’d like to achieve, given each Topic will be marked as _unread_ unless clicked on. EDIT: Fixed the terms used, as per @pfaffman suggestion. --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/using-discourse-as-learning-platform/323050)._
