 How Do I Create a Learning Track?

Learning Tracks are a great way to group content together to provide students with a track to follow to accomplish a goal. It is also easier to group content and assign one Learning Track, rather than each piece of content individually.

How Do I Create a Learning Track?

  • On the Admin Navigation menu, select Learning Tracks.
  • Click Add New Learning Track.

Learning Track Information Tab

  • Learning Track Title - This is the title that will be displayed on the Learner Interface.
  • Description - This is the description that will be displayed on the Learner Interface.
  • Tags - Tags listed here will be added to the piece of content, allowing learners to search in the learner interface and locate the content associated with the tags. To add multiple tags, separate each tag by a comma.
  • Color - This feature is only available for customers on our Classic and Novus interfaces; these interfaces are no longer available for new customers. This setting allows a display color to be set for the Learning Track in the learner interface.
  • Award Badge on Completion - Select a badge from the drop-down to award to the learner upon completion. Badges need to be configured in General Settings.
  • Students Can Self-Assign - This allows students to assign a Learning Track to themselves. If checking this setting, we highly suggest checking List in Content Catalog for each piece of content within the Learning Track. This allows you to get the most out of allowing students to self-assign the Learning Track.
  • Show Visual Indicator for Learning Track - A visual indicator will display to the student how much of the Learning Track they have completed. This is only available for customers on our Novus II interface.
  • Send Notification When Content Changes - An email will be sent to students when the content within the Learning Track changes.
    • Include Email Template - Select from the drop-down a custom template to be sent when content changes.
  • Create News Item When Content Changes - A news item will be added to the Learner Interface when the content within the Learning Track changes.
    • Include News Template - Select from the drop-down a custom template for the news item to be added when the content changes.
  • Upload New Certificate File - If you want to upload a new certificate to the system without going to the Certificates tab in the Admin Navigation, you can do that here. The certificate will display in the Certificates tab after it is uploaded here.
    • Click Choose File to select the new certificate to be uploaded.
  • Choose Existing Certificate - Choose from a drop-down of already uploaded certificates in the system.
  • Percent Complete - Percentage of the Learning Track the student must complete for the Learning Track to show as Completed in the LMS.
