This video walks administrators through the process of structuring content within the Learn platform. It explains best practices for organising training materials, categorising resources, and ensuring a logical flow for learners.

Creating your Content Structure – Getting Started
The Learn content structure is designed to provide training content using several different methods to best fit the content type and completion requirements. Content can be assigned either (1) as required training, made available as part of a learning pathway, or (2) as a reference material.
Before starting with creating content, spend some time planning your training structure and content levels.
Which options should I choose?
The best assignment option depends heavily on the type of content. Regulatory requirements or courses with specified due dates or recurrence patterns should be assigned as required training using the People module. Click here for more information.
Training that is part of a designated curriculum, but does not have due dates or recurrence, can be assigned as part of a learning pathway. This allows learners to complete the training at their own pace. Click here for more information about creating learning pathways.
Training materials that are for reference purposes or related to specific interests or topics can be added as resources. Click here for more information.
Learning Pathways
Learning pathways are a way to create and assign a training curriculum to users. The pathway is constructed of levels, missions, and stages. A stage is the lowest level and can be a video, SCORM file, quiz, document, or other content you create. Several stages on a similar topic are combined to create a mission.
For required training, the mission is linked to the course in the People module. Missions are linked to create a level, and levels are combined to create a pathway.
- Pathway - the overall learning curriculum for a user
- Level - the main themes / topics of the pathway
- Mission - the main topics of the level
- Stage - the individual pieces of learning content itself
- Mission - the main topics of the level
- Level - the main themes / topics of the pathway
Resources
As well as the learning content, users also have access to Resources, non-scoring, non-essential content that can be used as reference material for users after they have learned about a topic via their pathway.
Resources are presented in their categories
As well as learning reference materials, resources can also be used for any other company content such as the following:
- Company news
- Essential communications
- Employee health checks
- Employee contests and competitions
- Social announcements
