Learning Path Setup: Step-by-Step Guide

Setting Up and Configuring a Learning Path

Overview

Learning Paths allow you to create customized training experiences by grouping lessons into a structured sequence. This guide walks you through the setup and configuration process.

To create a custom path, you will navigate to Admin > Paths & Quests > + Add a New Path. 

Step 1: Complete Required Fields

When creating a new path, you’ll first need to provide some basic information:

• Path Name – A clear, descriptive title for the path.
• Description – A short explanation of the path’s purpose or learning goals.
• Confirm Level – By default, all custom paths are set to Foundational.
• (Optional) Require Retakes – Choose whether learners must re-take previously completed lessons.
  • Useful for compliance, annual training, or recurring certification needs.
• (Optional) Certificate Display – Decide if you want the Path description to appear on completed certificates.

Step 2: Build Your Path

• Once the required details are saved, you can begin building the path.
• Drag and Drop Lessons into the Path Builder.
• Use Filters to quickly find content by:
  • Language
  • Technology
  • Audience focus (Developer, Everyone, Executive)
  • Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) Number
  • Content type

As you add lessons, the Total Learning Path Duration will automatically update. This is helpful if your path must stay within a set time limit.

Step 3: Customize Lesson Settings

• Mark Lessons as Optional – Optional lessons will appear in the learning path but are not required for completion.
• Reorder as Needed – You can rearrange lessons to fit the desired sequence.

Step 4: Save and Activate

Once you are satisfied with the path:

1. Click Save to finalize your changes.
2. Select Activate to make the path available to learners.

Activated paths will be listed under Paths in the left-hand navigation of both the Map and List views.
