Learning Paths can be created and edited from within BluePrint. To manage Learning Paths in BluePrint, you will need to be an admin or have a custom role assigned with the Access:BluePrint, Create:Learning Paths, Read:Learning Paths, and Update:Learning Paths permissions.

 

Creating a Learning Path

To create a new Learning Path, follow these steps:

 

1. Navigate to BluePrint, and click on Create Learning Path.
   
   OR
2. Click on Learning Paths in the left-hand navigation bar, and click on Create Learning Path.
   
   
   
3. Input a title and description (optional). These will be displayed to the learner in the Learning Hub.
   1. If you’d like to add an image for your Learning Path, click on Edit and upload an image. Only JPG and PNG files are accepted. For optimal resolution, your image should be 840 × 432px.
4. Click on Continue. If you’d like to save your Learning Path as a draft and come back to it later, click on Save and Exit.
5. In the Add Content section, you’ll be able to add courses and/or resources to each section of your Learning Path:
   1. At the top of each section, input a section name. This will appear to the learner on the Learning Path’s details page in the Learning Hub. To add a new section, click on Add Section near the bottom of the page. To delete a section, click on the trashcan icon.
      
      
      
   2. Under Available Content for a section, select a content type (Courses or Resources). For courses, all published courses and courses in conversion will be listed.
      
   3. Move available content from the Available Content to the Selected Content section by clicking on the + icon next to an item. Selecting the - icon will remove the item from the selected content side. You can use the search bar to find a specific course or resource. You’ll be able to reorder your selected items later on, so don’t worry about adding them in order here.
      
6. Click on Continue or Save and Exit to come back to your Learning Path later.
7. In the Structure Content section, you’ll be able to structure the courses and/or resources within your Learning Path:
   1. Under Syllabus, select an order type.
      1. Fixed - Learners must complete their learning materials in a specific order and cannot skip ahead.
      2. Suggested - Learners can complete their learning materials in the order that they choose.
   2. Drag and drop items within each learning path section to the order that they should appear to learners.
      
   3. If an item should be optional for learners (does not need to be unlocked and does not count towards learning path progress), select the Elective checkbox next to it. Resources will automatically be set as electives and this cannot be changed.
      
   4. To reorder sections, click on the up and down arrows at the top-right of each section.
      
8. Click on Save to finish creating your Learning Path.
9. When you’re ready to publish your Learning Path, click on Publish To Console. All items within your Learning Path will need to be in a published state in order to publish your Learning Path. Once published, the content or structure of your Learning Path cannot be changed. You’ll only be able to change its title, cover image, or description.
   
10. Click on Publish to confirm. Your learning path will not be available to learners yet, but you've completed your first step in configuring a Learning Path.

Deleting a Learning Path

It is not currently possible to delete a Learning Path in order to preserve data integrity and to ensure historical accuracy of what learners have achieved. If you need assistance with deleting a Learning Path, please reach out to BenchPrep Support. Here’s what to consider when doing so:

 

Content Association:

• Deleting a Learning Path does not delete its content.
• The content remains but loses its association with the Learning Path, potentially making it harder for learners to find.

Learner Access:

• Enrollments in the Learning Path itself are irreversibly removed.
• Enrollments or authorizations granted via the Learning Path remain unaffected.
  • Example: If learners were granted free access to courses within the Learning Path upon purchase, they retain access to those courses even after the Learning Path is deleted.
