Learning paths

Streamline online courses to be completed in a specific order

Updated over a week ago

Learning paths are a powerful tool in WorkLeap LMS that help organize and streamline the learning journey for your users. Whether you're a new user or a seasoned administrator, this guide will walk you through the process of creating, managing, and using learning paths effectively.

What is a Learning Path?

A learning path is a curated sequence of courses, modules, or learning activities designed to help users achieve specific learning objectives or skill development goals. It provides a structured approach to learning by guiding users through a predefined progression of content.

Creating a Learning Path:

  1. Select "Learning Paths": From the dashboard menu, click on "Content > Learning Paths" to access the learning path management interface.

  2. Create a New Learning Path: Click on the "+ New" button to begin the process.

  3. Define Description and Objectives: Write a short description and clearly outline the objectives and goals of the learning path to ensure alignment with user needs.

  4. Build your Learning Path Step Structure: Under the "Steps" tab, build your step structure, which will act as a linear path for users to progress in.

  5. Add Content: Select and add relevant courses for each step of the learning path. You can customize the sequence and structure as needed. Steps containing more than one course will allow user to enroll to the courses in the order of their choosing. They will not be able to progress to the next step until all courses included in the steps are completed.

  6. Save and Publish: Once you're satisfied with the learning path setup, save your changes and update the Status, from "draft" to 'published".

Course status

Once your steps are well defined and saved, you can publish your learning path.

The "Status" scrolling menu allows you to choose the publication state of your path.

Initially, a learning path is always created in "Draft" mode. You can modify it as you wish, without any other consequences on the platform.

To activate a learning path, and therefore available for manual enrollments, set its status to "Published".

You will then be able to enroll users or groups, through the section dedicated to this purpose.

Finally, choose "Disabled" to maintain the access for users already enrolled in the learning path, but to prevent any future enrollment.


Assigning Learning Paths:

Learning paths enrollments can be done manually, or through an automation based on the user group structure.

To manually enroll people in learning paths, go to "Enrollment > Manual Enrollment" section of the app.

To automate learning paths enrollments, go under the "access" tab of the learning path builder. Select one or multiple user groups, which should systematically be enrolled in the learning path.

From there, any user associated with any of the listed groups will be enrolled in the learning path. Enrollments will be processed as you keep adding people in the user groups over time.

You can also automate learning path enrollments from within a user group menu. Under "User > User Group", you will find the list of all your user groups. By clicking on a group, you will find the "Enrollment in a learning path" settings, to link a user group with a published learning path for automated enrollments.

Learning paths offer a structured and efficient way to guide users through their learning journey in WorkLeap LMS. By following the steps outlined in this guide, you can create, manage, and utilize learning paths effectively to enhance user engagement and skill development.


Important things to know:

  • A student enrolled in a learning path is not enrolled in the courses it contains by default. A learning path is a way to facilitate course access and better represent the progression expected. The student must therefore enroll himself in courses he is expected to complete, following a predetermined structure.

  • If a course containing several versions is added to a learning path, the student will have to choose in which version he wants to enroll.
