Summary
Assign users to learning paths, outside of the group structure.
Learning paths are available to all customers.
Permissions to enroll
Admins can assign individual users onto published learning paths without restrictions.
Managers and managers with instructor permissions can assign users to learning paths, if
- the user is part of a group assigned to the manager
- the manager has permissions to enroll learners to courses and learning paths. See Managers: set permissions to manage groups
- the learning path options allow. See Learning path settings: details, enrollment access, and credits.
The rule of thumb: if the manager can view the user's profile, then the manager has permissions to assign the user to a learning path.
Assignment permissions for a learning path override the enrollment permissions of individual courses within the learning path.
Assign users to a learning path
Once you publish a learning path and have users in your portal, you can create enrollments. You can't assign users to draft learning paths.
- From the primary navigation go to Enrollments.
- From Create New Enrollments:
- on the Select Courses side, select Switch to Learning Paths
- from Select Users side, enter names to select learners, or scroll through the list
- Select one or more users to enroll on a learning path.
- Optional: select Re-enroll completed users? to add users to a learning path they already finished: for example, to make sure learners do not miss mandatory training or re-certification.
- Select Enroll to finish.
LearnUpon confirms these enrollments when they are complete.
The screen shot shows the enrollment interface for learning paths and users, with Re-enroll completed users? enabled.
Learning path notifications
LearnUpon sends learning path notifications to learners when you enroll them in a learning path, with 1 exception. For learning paths where:
- learners must complete all courses
- the enrollment starts immediately
...learners get a course enrollment notification about the first course, instead of a learning path notification.
For all other learning path conditions, learners get a learning path notification.
See Learning paths: create a path, add courses, set progression and publish to learn about the completion conditions and progression rules.
Enrollments for users with disabled accounts
Sometimes you need to disable a user's account temporarily: for example, for parental leave. While their account is disabled, users don't appear in Select Users, so you can't assign them to any learning paths.
