Best Practices

• Use a learning plan when:
  • You need to generate blended training
  • You have a huge course to divide into smaller ones
  • You want your learners to complete courses in sequential order
• For a better experience, it is recommended that:
  • You keep the learning plan description as short as possible, in order to be more focused on the list of courses in the learning plan's first page
  • You create a training material (e.g. HTML page) containing an introduction of the learning plan in the first course and a training material containing a conclusion in the last course
  • You set prerequisites in a clear and understandable way for the user, especially if a classroom and an e-learning course are included in the learning plan
  • If courses are configured for sale with the E-Commerce app and are also part of a learning plan that is not for sale, users will be able to access those courses without purchase if they access them via a learning plan.
• Manage different certifications within the same Learning Plan: If desired, it is possible to create a Learning Plan with different certifications assigned to it. In order to do that, assign the certifications created with the Certification and Retraining app to the courses included in the Learning Plan, not at the Learning Plan level. For example, you can set up a Learning Plan including an e-learning course with an annual renewal and a classroom course with a three-year renewal.
• Manage Learning Plans in multiple languages: If your learners speak different languages (such as French Canadian and Canadian English), you may want to create a learning plan where every course is proposed in all of the languages you need to support. You can work this out by setting equivalences between courses to enable learners to take one course, in whichever language they prefer, and progress through the learning plan, independently from the selected language.
