Learning Path Template Administration
Learning path templates serve to make the creation of learning paths simple and precise by allowing as many generic settings, information, and content as possible to occur at the template level and be pre-defined for learning paths derived from the given template. This helps improve consistency and efficiency where multiple learning paths are derived from the same learning path template; as a result, the learning path settings are unified and creation simplified.
When creating a learning path template, a learning path type is first selected as a basis for the template. Settings defined at the learning path-type level will be pre-defined for the template. It's also possible to not specify most settings at the learning path type and template levels and require completion at the learning path level instead, but normally minimal settings or meta tag values would be required for the population at the learning path level.
In principle, learning path templates come with the same tabs as learning paths with only the 'Meta tags and attributes' tab being different. All meta tag settings can be found in the learning patterns of a template and can be specially defined here in terms of display. The availability of the available tabs in learning path templates and learning path types is enabled at the learning path type level.
Learning path templates can be made directly accessible to learners via the catalogue. In this case, learning paths are selected via the learning path template. This selection is useful if the learning path descriptions vary only slightly (e.g. in dates and locations) from those of the learning path template.
In contrast to course templates, it is not possible to pre-book participants for learning path templates
