When to use a Learning journey

A Learning journey in the Collegial platform allows you to present learners with a number of learning item cards in a specific order, with clearly stated goals, fellow participants and a clear view of their progress towards the completion of the journey. Learners can be added or they can choose to join the journey themselves.

In creating a Learning journey you can:

• choose the order the learning items are shown in
• choose if the order of the learning items is set or flexible for the participant
• add text for the Journey description and Journey goal
• set the Journey Status of visibility and different Completion criteria
• add Content
• add participants to the Journey
• see participant progress
• see Journey statistics

Create your Learning journey

Get started:

1. Click the “Journeys” tab
2. Click the “Create” button. Choose from our content templates (instructions for this flow can be found in this related article “How to create a journey from a template”) or create your own journey from Blank

Create a journey from Blank:

1. Click “Blank”.
2. Enter a title (max 95 characters), select your space (only appears if you have more than one space to choose from)
3. Click “Create”. Note that you can edit the title later

Edit title and cover image:

1. Click “Edit” at the top right corner to edit the title and change the cover image by simply uploading a new one

Add content:

1. Click “Add items”. Note that you can’t add other Learning journeys or Collections, since they include several learning items in turn
2. Add your first item. Note that you can create a course, live event, assessment or add existing content

Edit the order of learning items or add more:

1. Click “Edit” under “Learning items”
2. Click the plus button below the learning items to add more items
3. Drag and drop to adjust the order

Remove learning items:

1. Click the three dots button on the learning item list
2. Click “Remove”

Autosave and co-editing

Learning journeys support co-editing — multiple admins can work on the same journey at the same time without overwriting each other's changes.

Changes save automatically as you work — an autosave indicator in the top bar confirms when each save completes

When another admin is editing the same journey, their avatar appears in the top bar so you know who else is in the document

If you lose your connection or close the tab, your latest saved changes are preserved.

Settings

Add Journey description and goals:

1. Click “Edit” under “Journey description” (max 500 characters)
2. Write an introduction to what the journey is about and why it is important for the participants and the organization. You can also clarify what is expected from the participants
3. Add the impact and goals of the Learning journey under “Journey goals” (max 500 characters)
4. Click “Save”

Change Journey Status:

1. Click “Edit”
2. Choose between “Unpublish”, “Publish” or “Delete”. If you don’t make a choice, unpublished is default
3. Click “Save”

Change Completion criteria:

1. Click “Edit”
2. Choose between “Complete all obligatory items" or “Invest a set amount of time”. If you don’t make a choice, “Complete all obligatory items” is default

Final steps - Preview and Publish

1. Preview your journey to ensure everything’s just right for the learner
2. Click “Publish” in the top right corner. This will trigger an email notification to the participants you have added. This email welcomes them, informs them that they have been added to the journey by you, and gives them a link to the journey to get started

Your Learning journey is now accessible for all learners in Explore, and in My Learning for the learners who have already been added.
