How to add a new Learning Path

Learning paths are structured lists of learning items for an employee to follow in order to achieve the level of knowledge they require. You can set target dates and pass scores for items in a learning path.

When creating learning paths, you add items from five areas. These areas are:

The items you have available to add to a learning path in each of these areas are those that have already been added to the system. If you want an item to add to the learning path that hasn't yet been created, you will need to go to the relevant area and create it first, then use the Manage Learning Path page to add the item.

Click Add.
A message will display telling you it has been added to the system.
Now the learning path is in the system, you can define the items that employees in the path will need to complete. This will be a combination of the five types of learning items mentioned above.
