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:

Click Save to finalize your changes.
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.
