Add an e-learning to a learning path

Updated over 2 weeks ago

To assign e-learning to users, it must be added to a learning path. A learning path is a container that can hold one or more activities, such as e-learning, policy, offline activity and more. An e-learning activity can be created by Skillcast, or you can upload a third-party SCORM or AICC content package.

You need Edit content permission to access these screens.

To add an e-learning activity to a learning path follow the below steps.

1. Select Management Console at the top of your homepage and then select Content Management from the right-hand menu.

2. Search and open an existing learning path or Add a new Learning Path.​

3. In the learning path, select Edit content on the right-hand side.

4. At the top you will find different new activities you can add. Select e-learning and set up the settings as required.

5. Select Add to create the e-learning activity.

6. After you have completed setting up your learning path, you can assign it to users. Please see these articles, explaining how to do it.​
