Paths Overview
Outline
A Path is an activity created by sequencing other activities. A path serves as a container to organize learning across individual activities with the goal of helping learners complete specific tasks, or meet specific qualifications or requirements. Paths let you blend formal and informal learning, and pair your propriety content with curated content, so learners stay engaged.
Things to note:
- A path can be a combination of any type of activity, except other paths or collections
- A path can be set up to have its activities be completed in sequence or in any order

Create a new path
You create a path just like you create other activities in the platform, but the content of a path is other activities - Pages, Assessments, or E-Learning.
Follow these steps to create a new path:
- Navigate to Content in the admin panel.
- Select the Paths tab.
- Click + New.
- Give your new path a Title.
- Use the Scheduled Activity setting to enable live events - if needed.
- Click Create.
