Learning Path - Best Practices

Learning paths are curated lists of resources that organizations can use to guide employees through specific learning goals and journeys. They can be used for onboarding new employees, upskilling teams for projects, providing role-specific training, and supporting career development. When creating learning paths, it is best to design them with a clear purpose, break content into digestible sections, ensure relevance, and provide opportunities for application. Key features of learning paths include combining various content types, adding only relevant course portions, leveraging course recommendations, duplicating existing paths, customizing visibility, and viewing learner progress and enrollment data.

Learning Paths Best Practices
Follow these tips to build a learning path that employees want to engage with

1. Learning Paths are not a list of resources.


If you need to collect these, please use the
custom categories feature.

2. Learners learn in sprints and not marathons.


Break the learning path down into smaller sections, each
covering one specific piece of the overall learning
objective. This is a great way to guide the learner through
their learning journey.
