What Is a Learning Plan and How Do I Make One?
Learning Plans are a collection of modules that you can assign to a user. This way, you can group specific topics of modules for the user to take in order.
Creating a learning plan is pretty simple!
First, you can navigate to Admin > Learning. Then, on the sidebar, select Learning Plans. Once there, click Add Learning Plan at the top-right corner of the screen:
Here, you will find options to add a title, cover image, and description as well as add certification, topics, and courses:
Once you have added all the necessary information, you can assign this learning plan to any user or group of your choice by clicking the Assign button at the top-right corner of the screen.
When Editing the Learning Plan, you can add Topics and Certifications, as well as Lock and Unlock courses.
When a course is Locked, it will force the user to complete the previous courses before they can unlock and take the next one. This will ensure that no one is skipping through content. You are also able to delete courses from the Learning Plan here and sort them by dragging and dropping them.
What do the Icons mean?
There are a few icons on the different cover photos for the Learning Plans once they are assigned.
The clock displays the estimated time it will take to complete the entire learning plan. There is also an icon and text to show if the Learning Plan is certified. When scrolled over, it will also show the topics linked to the Learning Plan.
What is Blended Learning?
Blended Learning is a new addition that allows all types of Content to be added to Learning Plans. Now, you can add Events as well as Courses into Learning Plans.
First, navigate to Admin > Learning > Learning Plans, here you can click Add Learning Plan. Once you do so, you will see this page appear:
Once you set the Learning Plan title and description, you can click the Add Content button at the bottom. Clicking this will bring up this menu that allows you to choose the type of content you will add.
For testing purposes, we will be adding a few Events and Courses.
Events will act the same as Courses when editing. So you can drag and drop it to where you want it, lock it so the previous courses have to be completed first, etc.
When you add an Event, Events with closed sessions will automatically be turned on to make sure assigned people in the Learning Plan can access them. The Admin will be alerted when a session that is not open for sign-up is being added.
Events that are added without sessions open for sign-up, will have to have them opened before they can be added. This is to avoid any conflicts with the assignment of the Learning Plan.
