KB687 | v16 | Creating a Learning Path

Summary

This article is for GyrusAim v16

A Learning Path provides a grouping of learning objects (training) that when attempted must all be obtained in order to achieve completion. It allows you to group together a set of training requirements in one path.

Learning paths do not appear in the course catalog. When the user is assigned the learning path the group of required learning objects is added to the user's Individual Development Plan (IDP) and will no longer appear in the Course Catalog for that user. They can then begin to progress through the learning objects (trainings) to meet the requirements of the learning path.

Creating a Learning Path

It is highly recommended that you plan out your learning path before adding it to GyrusAim. Any learning objects that you plan to include will need to be created and saved in the system prior to associating them to the learning path.
