      How Do I Create a Custom Learning Path?

      Hello readers! In this article we'll cover how to create a custom learning path for your learners!

      What is a Custom Learning Path?

      First, let's talk about what a Custom Learning Path is, and how you can use it with your learners!
      A Custom Learning Path is a curated collection of courses that an Instructor creates for their learners.
      Learners must complete courses based on the sequence set by the Instructor within each custom learning path.
      While this option is great for Instructors who want a high level of customization for their learners, it can be time-consuming to create each path. The Instructor would need to have a wide breadth of knowledge on training needs and industry knowledge to curate an effective learning experience for their learners.

      Custom Learning Paths also provide the ability to link to external documents you may be wanting to use to supplement your users' learning. We'll talk about that more within the steps below. 

      What do I need to create a custom learning path?

      In order to be able to create a custom learning path, you need to be an Instructor. Without instructor privileges, you won't be able to do this.
