Build a Pathway

In the process of creating a pathway, it is good to know which steps are available. Make sure to read through the Toolbox: Types of Pathway Steps article and think about how these steps can be used in courses practically.

A practical example is that a business wants employees to complete an induction/orientation course. The HR Department wants to create and distribute the course via a pathway in Signify.

Follow these steps to create the course as a pathway.

Decide on the Course Content

In layman's terms, identify what the learner should do as part of the course.

Below is an example of a few items to include.

  • Complete and pass a test.
  • Upload a portfolio of evidence/supporting documentation.
  • Download induction material.
  • Accept the terms and conditions for the induction course.
  • Download an Induction certificate at the end.

Order the Course Content

On a piece of paper write out the order of these items until they make sense.

Add additional items such as a course outcome list or if the employee should provide feedback on the course.

Below is an example of the Induction course content, rearranged in a logical order.

  1. Course Outline.
  2. Accept the course Terms and Conditions.
  3. Download the course material.
  4. Upload a portfolio of evidence/supporting documentation.
  5. Complete and pass the induction test.
  6. Download the Induction certificate.

Pair the course content with pathway steps.
