Learning Paths requirements
Learning Paths requires the following settings and configurations:
- The New Content Experience (Lessons) and the New Learner Experience configuration variables must be enabled for each course within a learning path. Any course you add to a learning path must have these settings configured to correctly track module completion within courses as part of the overall progress tracking for Learning Paths.
A default learner role is required to enroll all users assigned to learning paths in your organization. If your organization has Manager Dashboard enabled, the learner role you have set for Manager Dashboard is automatically set as the default learner role for Learning Paths. If your organization does not have Manager Dashboard configured, you must set the default learner role using the d2l.System.Enrollment.LearnerRole configuration variable. - The administrator and learner roles must have specific role permissions to access and use the full functionality of Learning Paths and the My Learning widget.
- The My Learning widget must be added to the organization home page for learners to access their learning paths.
