How to Create and Manage Readiness Paths
Readiness Paths help you create structured learning journeys that guide learners through courses, assessments, competencies, on-the-job training (OJT), live training, SCORM packages, and certificates in a predefined sequence.
Instead of assigning learning activities individually, you can combine them into a single learning journey, track learner progress, and measure workforce readiness from one place.
What Can You Include in a Readiness Path?
A Readiness Path can include multiple learning activities depending on your training goals.
| Activity | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Course | Deliver knowledge and learning content. |
| Assessment | Measure learner understanding using assessments with configurable passing scores. |
| Competency | Verify that a learner has demonstrated a required skill. |
| OJT Template | Validate on-the-job performance with supervisor approval. |
| Live Training | Require learners to attend instructor-led or virtual sessions. |
| SCORM Package | Include third-party or compliance learning content. |
| Certificate | Require learners to earn a certificate before completing the path. |
Create a Readiness Path
Step 1: Open Readiness Paths
Navigate to 'Training Studio' and select 'Readiness Paths' from the left navigation. Click '+ New Path'.
Step 2: Choose a Template
You can start with a predefined template or create a path from scratch. Select a template from the dropdown menu or choose 'Blank Path'. Enter the 'Title', 'Description', 'Type', and 'Target Role', then click 'Create & Add Steps'.
Step 3: Review the Template
If you selected a template, the Path Builder opens with preconfigured learning steps. Review the steps and make any changes before publishing the Readiness Path.
Create a Custom Readiness Path
Step 4: Configure the Path
To create a custom Readiness Path, select 'Blank Path'. Enter the 'Title ' and 'Description', select the 'Type', specify the 'Target Role', and then click 'Create & Add Steps'.
Add Learning Steps
After creating the path, you'll be taken to the Path Builder.
Step 5: Add a Step
Click 'Add Step'. Choose the activity you want to include.
Step 6: Configure the Step
Configure the step details, including 'Step Type', 'Title', 'Linked Resource ID', 'Due in Days', 'Instructions', and any additional settings available for the selected step type. Then click 'Add Step'.
Repeat this process until your learning journey is complete.
Step 7: Edit or Delete Steps
Use 'Edit' to modify a step or 'Delete' to remove it from the Readiness Path.
Publish the Readiness Path
Step 8: Publish the Path
New paths are created in 'Draft' status. Once you've finished building the path, click 'Publish'.
Published paths become available for assignment to learners and teams.
If you need to make changes later, unpublish the path, update it, and publish it again.
Assign a Readiness Path
Step 9: Assign Learners
Open the published path and click 'Assign'.
Step 10: Select Learners
Choose whether to assign the path to Individual learners or an entire team. Select the 'Members', configure a due date, and then click 'Assign Path'.
Monitor Learner Progress
Step 11: View Assignments
Open the 'Assignments' tab to monitor learner progress.
Measures overall learner readiness by considering completed learning activities, assessments, competencies, certifications, and other evidence collected throughout the path.
Best Practices
Group related learning activities into a single readiness path.
Use templates to speed up common onboarding and compliance programs.
Arrange activities in the order learners should complete them.
Mark essential activities as Required.
Use Gate Steps to ensure critical assessments or validations are completed before learners continue.
Review learner progress regularly to identify overdue or at-risk learners.
You have successfully created and managed a Readiness Path in Learnly. By organizing learning activities into structured journeys, you can simplify learner assignments, monitor progress more effectively, and help employees achieve workforce readiness through a guided learning experience.
