Learning paths

A learning path is a series of courses taken one after another. Each course can be bought on its own, or the whole path at once for less. A step opens once it is paid for and the learner has finished the step before it.

To build a path:

1. Open eLearning → Learning paths (owner or manager).
2. Give it a title, a summary and an about text.
3. Set the price of the whole path, or leave it empty to sell only course by course.
4. Add courses as steps and put them in order with the arrows.
5. Press Publish the path and its courses.

A course belongs to one path at most; its own price, lessons and certificate do not change.

What the learner sees:

• The path page shows every step in order, with what it teaches, its hours and price, the whole-path price and the saving, and where they stand on each step.
• Each step reads Finished, Open, Waiting (paid, opens when the step before is finished), Payment being checked, Pending payment, Not registered or Coming soon.
• Inside a course, a strip shows "Step 3 of 10". A step that is not open keeps its lessons shut, except free previews, and says why.
• Finishing a step offers the next one: start it, pay for it, or register.
• My learning shows each path with its progress, for example "3 of 10 finished".

When a learner buys the whole path, each course gets a share of the price. A part payment opens step 1 first, then step 2, and so on. Payments are approved under Payments to approve as before.
