Pathway editor
Modified on: Fri, 7 Jun 2024 11:35 AMThe pathway editor is structured around two tabs that separate the types of content that can be added:
- Structure for the training content itself (courses and events)
- Resources for other support materials (external URLs)
Structure
The content of a pathway is divided into stages. Each stage represents a training unit within the learning pathway, and can only include one type of content. Clicking on the button + Add stage there are two options depending on what you want to add:
- Stage of course
- Stage of events
Once the stage is created, the type of content cannot be changed, but you can delete it using the option in the menu, and create a new one.
In the header you can see the number of the stage (position in the pathway) and the type of content it includes. By clicking on the button + Add course o + Add event you can start adding the training.
It is not possible to create the next stage until content has been added to a stage.
In each of the courses or events that form the stage you can see the following information:
- The row of dots on the left allows you to move the content. Clicking on them you can change its position within the stage. If the row of dots does not appear, it is because the content depends on a marked requirement, and therefore cannot be moved.
- Clicking on the title takes you directly to the course editor, or to the event details.
- The information symbol warns you that the language of the content is different from that of the pathway.
- The green or red label indicates that the content is published or unpublished.
- Activate the flag to make the content required, which means mandatory to pass the training.
- In the three-point menu you can access the details of the courses, manage requirements or delete the content.
Requirements
Clicking on Manage requirements displays a side menu with the structure of the pathway, where you can select which contents will need to be previously completed in order to access the current content. You can select the contents individually, or the stage as a whole. Until the student has passed these requirements, the content remains blocked. In the main menu of the pathway, next to the Publish button, there are two other options:
- Set linear requirements to make it mandatory to pass the previous content to access the next one, throughout the whole pathway. Beware, this option deletes any requirement settings you set before.
- Delete all the requirements deletes all the requirements you set along the pathway.
Other options are available in this menu:
- Details to access the pathway settings tab.
- Publish the pathway.
- Create training from the pathway, or See trainings already created. Remember, to create a new training, the pathway must be published.
- Delete the pathway.
- Manage translations to access the tab where you can edit the titles and description of the pathway in other languages (multi-language).
Resources
These are complementary resources that you make available to the student to support him in the training. It can be a web page, an online document or video, a social media post... that you can add through an external URL. To do so, click on the New resource button, add the URL of the resource in the new tab and click on Next.
The tool displays some information on the resource, as it will be shown to the student, that you can edit:
- Thumbnail image.
- Name of the resource.
- A brief description of the content.
- URL of the resource.
- You also have the option to hide URL and show content inside fullscreen window.
Finally, click on Save to add the resource to the pathway.
When you finish editing the pathway, remember to click the Publish button to start creating trainings.
