Draft, save and publish a learning journey

Tip: The learning journey title and description, plus the branch titles within the learning journey, are visible to learners. Choose titles that tell learners about the journey logic and decisions. 

  1. From main navigation go to Learning Journeys > + New journey to open the journey canvas, with START, a decision node marked by a plus sign, and END marked out.
  2. Select the decision node to access journey options. For the first node, typically you select one of:
    • Enroll: add a course. Comes with optional Completed branch to indicate the path for learners who get Completed/Passed status 
    • Branch: build conditions based on custom user data, or previous course outcomes
  3. Edit nodes as required. For each node include a meaningful title, and Save to add the results to the learning journey.
  4. Repeat the process as required, to build a branching journey with a series of courses, with conditions that determine the next step for learners.
  5. As required, select Award to add a certificate to a branch.
  6. Enter a name and description for the learning journey and Save.
  7. Review the learning journey: check each node and course result.
  8. When the learning journey is complete, select Publish. The canvas changes so you can see each condition and the progression of courses.

 

Edit a published journey 

Make changes to a published journey to add content or correct a flow.

For changes to that do not add new courses, you apply the changes to Not Completed users only, aka learners who are currently on the learning journey.

When you add a new course to a learning journey, you decide who is affected by the changed learning journey with 2 options:

  • Not Completed
     
    users: learners who are currently on the learning journey
  • All users: learners who are currently on the learning journey, and those who have completed the learning journey

Selecting All users potentially returns Completed status learners to the learning journey, so they can take part in the newly added course. 

Note: Learners who rejoin a learning journey do not start again from scratch. They return to complete the new content only. 

  1. From main navigation select Learning Journeys > your journey name.
  2. From the journey canvas select Edit.
  3. Make changes to decision nodes, branches and conditions. Select Save draft or Discard changes as required.
  4. Select Publish to open a confirmation dialog. When you add a new course and select 1 of 2 options to apply the changes:

    • Not Completed users: aka any learners who are currently on the journey
    • All users: includes learners at In Process and Completed statuses
  5. Publish to finish. 

The following screenshot shows a published journey with Edit highlighted.




Working with learner journeys: notes and observations 

Building the journey 

New Learning Journey is the default name for every new journey. When you edit the name you can enter a description: both the name and the description are visible to your learners.

The branch names are visible to learners when they view their learning journey enrollments. Make the branch names meaningful, to suggest what the journey’s branch is about, or how the journey logic applied to them.
