Learning paths

Several courses in a set order: onboarding, getting ready for a role, yearly training.

What it is

A learning path is courses in a set order, for example “Welcome” → “Product” → “Security”. You assign it like a course: to groups or to individual people.

Create a path

  1. Learning paths → New learning path → title and description.
  2. On the “Courses” tab, add courses in order. Each can have a time limit in days.
  3. On the “People” tab, assign the path to groups or people.

One by one, or all at once

  • One by one (the default): the next course opens when the previous one is completed. Until then it's “locked”: people see it in the path but can't open it, and there are no reminders about it.
  • All at once: people see every course and take them in any order.

Step time limits

A step's time limit counts from the day the course opened for that person. So everyone has their own schedule: someone finishes the first course in a day, someone in a week, and each gets their own time for the second.

Good to know

  • When a course opens, the person gets a “You've been assigned” notification (within an hour).
  • If a course is already open to someone another way (a group, individual access), it's open in the path too.
  • A course with no content doesn't hold up the next steps.
  • Deleting a path doesn't delete its courses: people only lose access they had through that path alone.

Progress

The “People” tab shows each person: how many courses are done, which one they're on, by when, and who's overdue.

Combine a learning path with a dynamic group “New hires” and every new employee gets onboarding automatically.
