How Do I Create a Learning Track?

Updated

With a learning track, you can bundle different learning interventions, such as microlearnings, online trainings, internal events, and external trainings. This gives employees structure and direction in your academy's learning offering.

When Do You Use a Learning Track?

A learning track can be used:

  • Based on a job profile
  • As a development path
  • In preparation for an (external) training

Creating a New Learning Track

  1. In the LMS, go to Library > Bundles.
  2. Click Create a learning track in the top-right corner.
  3. Give the learning track a name.
  4. Choose a Flexible or Sequential structure.
  5. Click Create.

After that, you can further configure the learning track:

  • Add a description and learning objectives
  • Add learning interventions

Flexible or Sequential?

  • Sequential learning track: employees must complete the learning interventions in a fixed order
  • Flexible learning track: employees can follow the learning interventions in any order

You can also set optional items.

Note: Only required learning items count toward completion. Optional learning items remain visible under 'To do', but don't need to be completed.

Example: in a flexible learning track, all learning items are required, but they may be completed in any order.

Structuring Your Learning Track

For more clarity in your learning track:

  • Add titles to group learning items
  • Drag titles and learning items to change their order
  • A maximum of 48 learning items per learning track

Setting deadlines:

  • Attach a deadline to a learning item
  • Add notifications: employees receive an email a few days before the deadline
  • Deadlines are calculated per employee from the moment of assignment
  • Example: assign on January 1 with a 3-week term, and the deadline is January 21
  • You can also choose a fixed deadline per employee

Other Settings

Via the Settings tab, you can:

  • Manage the visibility of the learning track
  • Exclude certain teams from visibility
  • Add labels and categories
  • Set whether employees can leave a rating

Additional Options

  • Add an introductory video (max. 60 seconds, hosted via Vimeo)
  • Link a certificate to the learning track with a personal message
  • Add a custom email message to assignment and reminder emails

Note: These options do not apply to self-initiated learning, or if the employee has no email address on file.
