A Learning Path is a structured way to guide your learners through a sequence of related training activities. It helps you organise content into a clear journey so users always know what to complete and in what order.
This article explains what a Learning Path is, how it works, and the best practices to follow when creating one.
What is a Learning Path?
A Learning Path is a collection of training activities that you group together to create a cohesive learning journey. It can include a single activity or a mixture of formats such as
e‑learning modules
offline or practical tasks
assessments
other training items
By grouping activities into a logical order, you make the experience smoother and more meaningful for learners.
Best practices when creating Learning Paths
To build an effective Learning Path, it is best to include only activities that relate directly to the same subject or objective. Keeping content aligned helps learners stay focused and avoids unnecessary confusion. You can do this by
pairing a classroom session with an online assessment on the same topic
linking an introductory module with a follow‑up practical task
grouping steps of a process into a single sequence
Keeping activities tightly connected ensures learners understand why each step matters.
Example of a Learning Path
Learning Path: How to bake baguettes
E‑learning activity: How to bake baguettes
Document: Guide on how to bake baguettes
Assessment: Baguettes knowledge check
This example shows how different formats work together when they support one clear topic.
How assignments work
Assignments apply to the Learning Path as a whole, not to the individual activities inside it. This is important because
you cannot set separate due dates for separate activities within the same Learning Path
if different users need different mandatory tasks or deadlines, each activity must be placed in its own Learning Path
Designing your Learning Paths with this in mind helps you manage visibility, deadlines, and learner progress more effectively.
Conclusion
Learning Paths help you organise related training into a structured, easy‑to‑follow journey. By grouping only relevant content and understanding how assignments work, you can create a smooth and effective learning experience for your users.
