All About Learning Paths

What is a Learning Path?

Learning paths help organize courses into groups, allowing for targeted delivery to learners and comprehensive reporting on learners' progress and completion rates. It differs from a Career Path because it can be crafted from any set of courses, while Career Pathways are pre-determined sets of courses.

Creating Learning Paths looks a little different, depending on your system role. Learning Paths can be created by: Team Leaders, by Team Admins, or by System Admins. 

Creating a Learning Path as a Team Leader

The LMS simplifies the process for managers or team leaders to create a customized learning path using catalog content. To create a new manager learning pathway, team leaders will complete the following tasks:
  1. Create a Learning Path
  2. Add Courses
  3. Enroll Team Members

Tips: Creating a learning path does not automatically enroll team members. Team leaders will need to enroll their team members manually.

Create a Learning Path as Team Leader:

  1. From the Manager Learning Paths screen, click Create Learning Path.
  2. Enter the name, provide a description, and specify the target completion days for the learning path.
  3. The target completion days indicate the number of days you expect the team to complete the Learning Pathway. By entering 30 target completion days, the due date will be 30 days from the day of enrollment.
  4. When all fields are complete, click Create.  You will then need to add your Courses.

Adding Courses to your Learning Path as Team Leader:

  1. Click Add Courses via catalog to add courses to the learning path. You will be directed to the catalog screen, where you can search and browse the catalog for courses to add.
    • You will only be able to view and add courses made available for self-enrollment to you and your team members. If you do not see the courses you need, contact your team admin or system admin to request the courses be made available for self-enrollment through the targeting feature.
  2. You can use the categories to expand and navigate the subcategories to filter the results. When you have found a course you would like to add to the learning path, click on the course title to open the course details page. 
  3. To add this course to the learning path, click the menu button, select Add to Manager Learning Path, and then choose the specific learning path you want the courses added to. A green banner will indicate the course was successfully added. 
  4. To add another course, click Browse Catalog and repeat the steps for a different course.
  5. When you are finished adding courses, return to the Manager Learning Paths.

You will now be able to see your new learning path and the number of courses you added to it. However, there will be no enrollments since you still need to add users to the learning path. 

Enroll Team Members as a Team Leader

  1. To add your team members to the new learning path, click Enrollments. Here, you can see a list of your team members. 
  2. Click the Enroll button next to each team member you wish to enroll in the learning path. 
  3. Click Manager Learning Paths to go back to the Manager Learning Paths screen. Here you can see there are now new enrollments for the new learning path. 
  4. Confirm the enrollment by going to the My Team Home screen. Click the action button of a team member you enrolled and select Learning Paths. Here, you will be able to see all of the learning paths this user is enrolled in and his progress. 

How to Edit Learning Paths as a Team Leader

From the Manager Learning Paths screen, you can edit the learning paths you have created. Click on the name of the learning path you would like to edit. The name acts as a link to the learning path's details. From this screen, you can:

  • Add more courses via the catalog
  • Change the name, description, or target completion dates
  • Enroll or unenroll team members
  • View courses in the learning path
  • Remove courses from the learning path
