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.
- Course Outline.
- Accept the course Terms and Conditions.
- Download the course material.
- Upload a portfolio of evidence/supporting documentation.
- Complete and pass the induction test.
- Download the Induction certificate.
Pair the course content with pathway steps.
