As a System Admin (or a Coach with Learning Path authoring capability), you can create Learning Path Modules for learners to complete! The modules can be housed inside of courses or kept separate as independent lessons.
-
To get started, click on 'Learning Paths' in the top navigation bar.
-
Next, click on the ‘Modules Management’ tab.
-
On Modules Management, click ‘+ New’ and select ‘Module’ in the dropdown. This will bring you to the module’s Contents page.
-
At the top of the module, go ahead and click on the current pre-generated module title and give it a new title. Click the 'checkmark icon' to save your changes.
Adding and Managing Pages in Your Module
When authoring a Learning Path Module, you can easily add content to it by creating a new page and then adding various components to it.
To create a page, select ‘+New Page’ within your module, and give your new page a title. Click the 'checkmark button' to save your changes.
You can reorder your pages by clicking and dragging the 'stack icon' beside each page listed and dropping the selected page to a new location on the list.
If you want to rename, remove, or clone and modify a page, you can do so by clicking on the page's '...' icon.
You can also choose to mark the page as required by clicking on the the 'Page Settings' button in the top, right-hand corner of module's Contents page. This will load a dropdown toggle for the 'Page Required' option. Click on the toggle so that it displays as GREEN/ON to require the page for completion before moving on to the next one.
In the Page Settings, you can also set a Page Publish Date for each page, as well as a Page Due Date. These dates of an individual page must take place before the overall module's due date.
If you would like for specific Sections in your Learning Path module to appear to your Learners as more expanded areas on the page (as opposed to a collapsible section), enable the 'Unwrap section on page' toggle. Otherwise, you can leave it disabled for the section to appear more divided out from the rest of the page.
Adding and Managing Components on Your Page
After you have created a page in your Learning Path module, add a Section by clicking the 'Add Section' button.
Within each section you can click the 'Add Component' button to add various components that your learners can interact with!
Within each section of a Learning Path module, you can add the following components:
- Radio Set - wherein you can choose one item from a set of radio button inputs
- Dropdown Menu - wherein you can choose one item from a dropdown menu
- Checkbox Set - wherein you choose multiple items from a set of checkboxes
- True or False - wherein you choose if the statement provided is True or False
- Text Field - to gather a small line response of text and/or numbers
- Text Area - to gather a large amount of text for responses
- User Response - to gather a large text response, an artifact upload, or a link submission that can then be responded to by a Moderator or peer
- Discussion - to provide a conversation space wherein all learners of the module can discuss a specific topic
- Must have 'Learners can see other learners' and 'Learners can engage in discussions' enabled in the module's Settings to see this component.
- Complete a Data Form - to direct learners in completing either a data form, observation, or self assessment
- Request Video Observation - to direct learners to upload materials and assign the materials to be observed by others
- Resources - to provide specific videos or files to view for further context
- Text Editor - for providing instructions or information from the template author. This component does not gather any data
- SCORM Package - to embed a SCORM 1.2 e-learning package from a module originally housed outside of TORSH Talent.
- Embed Video - to assign an embedded video that is required for viewing in order to progress through the module.

In the top, right-hand corner of each component you can add, you can further adjust it as needed with some general settings.
- To switch from one component type to another, click the 'switch icon.'
- To expand a component to see its edit options, click the 'expand icon.'
- To duplicate a component, click the 'duplicate icon.'
- To delete a component, click the 'trash bin icon.'
In order to modify a specific component, simply click in its general preview answer area, and the component will expand to show settings that allow you to manage the title, description and answer choices the users of your system will see!
For most Selection Option components, you can designate it to be required, enable it for grading, count the question toward the final grade of the module, and enable Branching Logic.
