We have a selection of courses that cover a variety of topics that we want to assign to new hires.  

 

Each subsection of courses is essentially a Learning Plan.  The idea is one Master LP that holds child LP’s.  Currently this functionality doesn’t exist.

 

We have explored loading multiple training content, and using the course shells as a ‘child LP’, however this is not as clean or user friendly as we would like.

 

Has anyone else had a similar need?  How did you end up resolving?

@Jtischler Yes, I’ve had a similar need.  We end up using catalogs, and adding separate learning plans. Just isn’t functionality that exists in the platform.

Perhaps something like prerequisites (where you set the pre-req for the 1st course to be the last course of the prior LP), and then something like gamification to mark when all of the LPs are complete would work as an alternative.


@KMallette Thanks for the feedback!  To clarify, you created separate LP’s and put those in a catalog and then gave catalog permissions to those that needed to go through the LP series and then they just work through each LP?

I am not following on the pre-req.. you can’t designate a course as pre-req that is not contained within the existing LP.  Maybe I am missing something?

This did get me thinking though, I could potentially use a course enrollment status as group criteria with an enrolment rule which would allow for an initial LP assignment, and then when that is completed (final course) the automation would enroll into the subsequent plan.  Not as pretty as nested LP’s in an LP, but in theory could be an option.


@Jtischler You’re right about the pre-reqs, sorry. I was trying to recall a solution that a CSM gave me when we launched 5 years ago 😁.  Maybe he suggested that I put the first course of the 2nd LP in as the last course of the 1st LP? As you can see, I didn’t like his suggestion 🤣

I really like your enrollment rule idea, though … pretty elegant, actually. Good luck.
