Here are detailed instructions for creating a Learning Path, but paths are as simple as you want them to be.  Here is a 1-2-3 how-to guide for the most basic Learning Path.

Set-up

•Make sure all of the courses you wish to include in the learning path are set up correctly.

•Any included scheduled courses should have future events available so your users can enroll.

•Correctly set up any groups of users you might ultimately like to auto-assign to this path.

•Add a Communication > Email Template that would serve as an acceptable, initial path assignment notification.  Or, plan to use the established template labeled User Notification - Assigned to Learning Paths.

oCustom notification template

Steps

•Navigate to the Library.

•Hover over the Add Course + icon to reveal the Add Path + icon.

•Click Add Path +.

•At a minimum, complete the required and highly recommended Path details:

oPath Name

oCategory

oDescription

oCourse Default - Number of Attempts. This field is pre-populated to allow 1 attempt for each course in your path.  If you'd like coursed added to the path to have unlimited attempts, use our code: -1. Once courses are added, attempts can be customized for any specific course if the default set here isn't appropriate.

•SAVE

•Once saved, open the Courses Tab

•Add Course + to the Path

•Repeat to add multiple courses

•SAVE

Courses are all required by default.  You can update that setting using the edit option on any course. SAVE.

Drag the order of courses to change the order displayed to the end user. SAVE.

You've successfully saved your Learning Path.  It is now available in your defined Category in the Library for everyone.

Distribute your new Learning Path to users using any/all of the following methods.

•Learner Links

•Broadcast Emails

Before assigning users, setup Path Notifications if you want automated notifications to apply to this Path.

•User Assignment

•Add Users

•Auto Assign

Make sure that you have pop-ups enabled according to the LMS documentation. If pop ups are not enabled you will not be able to open the PDF as the pop up will be blocked.

I can't launch live content on my mobile device.

PDFs are not opening in Apple devices.

I am an admin and I find that performing tasks is difficult on my cellphone.

Can Users access the LMS from their mobile devices?

I set up a General/Resource Course PDF in my LMS to open in the same window, but on my Apple device it opens in a new window.

Is Intellek planning to create a Mobile Application?

Intellek Client Family Members can provide pre-hire (recruitment phase) and new hire assessments/skill tests as well as training through the LMS. You have a few options:

 1. You can add the new hires manually to the LMS and set their Entry Type to ‘Manual’, and this won’t impact your other learner data. You could also allow them to create their own account via the Self Account Creation form, which has an optional approval process that can be activated. Either of these would give new-hires access to the LMS and the resources, IF you’re happy for them to be inside the primary LMS.

 2. You could add a subsite LMS to your subscription, which some clients use for this purpose but it can also be used to give your clients access to any resources. A subsite has all the same functionality as your primary LMS instance, but the data is separate from your LMS and it can be branded differently. Please reach out to solutions@intellek.io for pricing.

With a full library subscription, you not only have access to the Knowledge Checks as a great option but it also includes 5 Office Assessments created with Live Content Studio. The difference between Knowledge Checks and Assessments are as follows:

                 a. Knowledge Checks are ‘simulations’ used to confirm knowledge was retained after a user has completed the associated lesson, or to “test-out” of a lesson.

                 b. Live Content Assessment workflows are completed in the ‘live’ application. You could send these to any employee, new hire or even pre-hire, and they could open up MS Word, for example, and complete the assessment. These Assessments are automatically scored and you get to see where training is required and where there are gaps in knowledge. Assessments can reside in the LMS or outside of the LMS as HTML files and there is no functionality loss either way.
