Creating a Learning Plan

To create a learning plan, access the Admin Menu, then press the Learning Plan item in the E-Learning section. This page lists the learning plans already configured in your platform. Click on New Learning Plan to start creating a new learning plan. The pop-up box used to create the learning plan is divided into three tabs: Details, Settings, and Share.

Start from the Details tab. Define the learning plan name, description, and code (optional), then choose among the existing thumbnails or upload your own. Set the learning plan name so that it is simple and clear. Users should instantly understand the topic of the learning plan upon reading its name. Make sure that the name of the learning plan is not made up of special characters only, as they may corrupt the learning plan URL format.

Move now to the Settings tab and flag whether you want to show the learning plan in catalogues. If you flag this option, then a fourth tab, E-Commerce, will populate to configure the price of the learning plan, as well as its selling options.

You can set the days of validity of the learning plan, allowing users to access it for only a specific number of days after they enrolled in it, or after they accessed it for the first time. Select one of the available options, depending on your preferences:

After first course access. The number of days is calculated from the first time a user accesses any course in the learning plan.
After Being Enrolled in the Learning Plan. The number of days is calculated from the user’s enrollment date. If a user is waiting to be approved in the learning plan (due to a pending E-Commerce payment or waiting for Admin approval), the validity period starts from the date the enrollment is approved.

If Discover, Coach & Share is enabled in your platform, you can publish the learning plan in any of the platform channels, but remember that learners will see it only if they have visibility permissions for those channels.

Finally, assign certificates, certifications, and credits to your learning plan, if desired. Users will be able to download their certificates either from the My Activity page, Learning Plan tab or the learning plan page. Certifications are only available on the My Activity page, Certification tab.

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. Also note that when removing the association between a learning plan and a certificate, all of the users who obtained the certificate by completing the learning plan will lose the certificate. Be careful when performing this action.

Move to the Share tab, where you can flag the option to enable enrollment links 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 in the learning plan. Learn more about enrollment links.

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 to activate the selling options of the learning plan.

You can then set 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 every single course selected. More information about E-Commerce in your platform.
