Learning Path Feature Parity

Currently, there is a significant functional gap between Courses and Learning Paths within Skilljar. While Courses offer robust administrative controls, automation, and granular reporting, Learning Paths often act as simple containers.

To provide a seamless experience for both admins and learners, we request feature parity for Learning Paths. This will allow for more sophisticated curriculum design and reduce the manual overhead currently required to manage multi-course programs.

  1. Advanced Enrollment Management

    Admins need the same level of control over Path entry as they have for individual Courses. Specifically we need the capability for admins to edit the "Enrolled On" date for a learner’s path record.

  2. Path-to-Path Prerequisites

    Mirror the flexible gating logic available at the course level to create structured learning journeys.

    1. Sequential Locking: Requirements to complete Path A before unlocking Path B.

    2. Flexible Gating: Support for "AND/OR" logic when setting prerequisites across multiple paths.
  3. Completion Controls & Scoring

    Learning Paths should carry their own "transcript-level" weight rather than just reflecting the sum of their parts.

    1. Status Management: Clear Pass/Fail logic for the entire path.

    2. Aggregate Scoring: A path-level grade based on weighted averages of the underlying courses.

  4. Completion Actions & Automations

    Automate the "What’s Next" after a learner finishes a complex curriculum.

    1. Chained Enrollments: Automatically enroll a user in a new path or course upon completion of the current path.

    2. Deactivation Timers: Automatically revoke access to path content after a set period post-completion.

    3. Approval Workflows: A "Request Access" flow for paths that requires admin or manager sign-off before the learner is enrolled.
