Creating a New Learning Plan

To create a learning plan, access the Admin Menu, then press the Learning Plan item in the E-Learning section. On the next page, you’ll see the New Learning Plan button in the action bar at the top of the page, and a list of learning plans below. Press the New Learning Plan button to get started. In the pop-up box, you will see three tabs: Details, Settings, and Share.

Creating a Learning Plan

In the Details tab, complete the form with the name, description, and code (optional) of the learning plan, then choose a thumbnail or upload your own. Then, move to the Settings tab. In this tab, flag whether you want to show the learning plan in the courses catalogue. If you flag this option, then a fourth tab, E-Commerce, will populate. 

In the Settings tab, enter the days of validity of the learning plan, allowing users to access it for only a specific number of days after they are enrolled in it. There are two different options for counting the number of days:

1. After First Course Access. The number of days is calculated from the first time a user accesses the course or learning plan. For learning plans, this means a user’s first access for any course inside the learning plan.
2. After Being Enrolled in the Learning Plan. The number of days is calculated at the time of the user’s enrolment, not after the user’s first access of the course or learning plan. If a user is waiting to be approved into a course or learning plan (due to a pending E-Commerce payment or waiting for Admin approval), the validity period starts from the date of the approved enrolment. If you flag this option, along with the option to also update all enrolments expiration dates where users already started this course, then your platform will perform a massive expiration date recalculation based on enrolment dates, rather than the first course access date.

If you have flagged the option to set the validity date After Being Enrolled in the Learning Plan, the option to Also update all enrolments expiration dates where users already started this course will be changed to Also update all enrolments expiration dates for users already enrolled in this course.

Please Note: Certificates for learning plans are issued only when a user has completed ALL of the courses within a learning plan. This also applies if a learner is only enrolled in a few, but not all, of the courses within a learning plan.

Move to the Share tab, where you can flag the option to enable deep linking for the learning plan. This means that you can create a link from within the platform to share with your users outside of the platform. When users click on this link from an external website, they will automatically be enrolled into the learning plan.

If you have selected the Show this learning plan in the course catalogue option in the Settings tab, then you can also configure the settings in the E-Commerce tab. Select the Put this learning plan on sale option if you want to sell the learning plan. You can then decide the price of the learning plan as well as determine if the learning plan must be bought in full or if courses can be bought individually. In the latter case, the final price will be the sum of each single course selected. The currency in which the course is offered is configured in the E-Commerce settings.

Press Confirm to finish creating your new learning plan.

You can Edit or Delete a learning plan by clicking on the corresponding icons in the learning plan’s row.

Please note that when users unenroll from a learning plan, they don’t unenroll from the courses within the learning plan.
