Introduction

This article will define and describe the general usage and setup of the Learning Path folder-type.

A Learning Path is a type of Catalog Folder and added to the Catalog in a manner similar to any other type of Catalog Folder.

For help documentation related to adding any type of Folder to the Catalog, please refer to; Adding and Editing Folders, otherwise the following information describes some general uses of a Learning Path Folder. 

Purpose behind a Learning Path

A Learning Path is a type of hierarchical Catalog Folder which can be populated with sub-folder types of Courses. 

Learning Path folders are used to organize and assign any associated Courses. 

A Learning Path folder-type will be scored based on any scores earned by any Child Folders.

Important Tips: 

• The settings above are system defaults but can be modified by an LMS Admin with appropriate permissions. 

• It is considered a best practice to NOT modify existing folder-types, but instead create a new folder-type if necessary.

• The Accord LMS will prevent LMS Admins from creating any folder-type which are not allowed as Child Folders in any selected Parent Folder.

Generally, the informational Detail settings which may be set or entered for the various folder-types are very similar.
