Setting up a learning pathway involves two steps. First, you'll need to create the courses you want to include in the pathway. Once you have created all course templates, you can then set up the pathway.

Below is an example of the potential a pathway can help you achieve to ensure users receive training most suited to their learning level.

Courses

Any course templates can be used in a Learning Pathway. You don't need to publish the template as a course; it just needs to be in the template state to be included in a pathway.

A learning pathway can include up to 30 courses.

Smart Path (Optional)

Choosing the Smart Path option adds a further level of personalised learning. With this option, the Learning Pathway can expand to up to 30 possible pathways.

Once enabled, the system will display the Smart Path creation page:

Example Smart Path:

Question: Cyber Security is critical within our Organisation. Completing the following assessment will help identify a course that best relates to your role and learning level, to ensure you can remain cyber secure at work and home. Select a department that best suits your role to continue.

Answer options:

• HR
• Finance
• Operations

With this information provided directly by the end user, you can make sure the training they receive is not only suited to their learning level, but also relevant to what they chose at the Smart Path stage.

If your pathway uses multiple languages, select Review Translations and add the appropriate translations in the chosen languages.

Skip Assessment

With the Smart Path option, you have extra flexibility, allowing users to skip the overall assessment depending on their selection. As the creator, you can choose which users need to complete an assessment, which will then guide them to a course that matches their score, or send them straight to a course that fits their chosen criteria.

Assessment

Learning Pathways are connected to the MyCompliance Question Bank, allowing you to include up to 30 questions in your assessment. Choose from hundreds of curated cyber security questions, or add your own custom questions to reflect your organisation's policies and training priorities. Custom questions must be added to the Question Bank first, and then appear alongside the curated questions. Users will see the assessment when they begin their pathway.

You can add, remove, or rearrange questions as needed. Questions appear in your default language, and you can use the language selector to view them in other languages. 

Assessment scores will determine which course is assigned to each user. This is set up in the next step - Bandings.

Bandings

Bandings connect assessment scores to the course that the user is expected to complete.

If the Smart Path option is not enabled, you can link up to three courses to this Pathway. You can set score ranges to determine which course is linked to each range.

If Smart Path is enabled, you can link Pathways to each Smart Path answer option.

If Smart Path is enabled, you can link Pathways to each Smart Path answer option.

If Smart Path is enabled and you have chosen Skip Assessment for certain Smart Path answer options, you can assign a specific course to these users. The score range option will not appear, and only one course can be assigned.

Delivery Methods

1. Via MyCompliance

Once the pathway is created, go to the Launch Setup section to choose your target users and set the notification preferences.

2. Via External LMS

If you enable Link to external LMS, you can export the entire pathway as a SCORM package. Choosing this option will also open the SCORM Settings section, where you can adjust the settings to fit your preferences.

Putting it all together

Setting up a learning pathway takes four steps: build your course templates, create an assessment from the Question Bank (curated questions, your own, or both), connect scores to courses with bandings, and launch. Start with one pathway and a few courses, then grow from there - you've got everything you need to get going.
