Creating Learning Paths

A Learning Path is a subset of courses within a Subscription to direct learning of a specific topic. Adding learning paths into your subscription gives you the opportunity to guide a user through courses relating to a subject, giving them a suggested order of progress to take the courses to build their learning on the topic through the end of the path. You can have one or multiple paths set up for your subscription. Users are not restricted to take the courses in the order offered in the path, they can choose to take any course at any time.

An individual path shows the courses listed in the order created in the path. Details are available on the left panel. Learning paths have a progress bar displaying the percent of completed courses. Clicking on the course name opens a course assignment, circles beside the course name show if a course has not been started (empty circle), is incomplete (half-filled circle) or completed (check-marked circle).
