Learning path course - Overview
What are learning path courses?
Video introduction (German): Was ist ein Lernpfad?
There are two variants of OpenOlat courses: conventional courses and learning path courses.
The learning path course helps learners keep track of their course activities. The visualization of the learning path shows at a glance what they have already completed, where the learners are currently in the course and which course elements they may or must still work on.

Authors and coaches also benefit from the learning path course. For owners and coaches, the "Learning path" area in the course toolbar provides an overview of the learning progress of all participants. This lets you react to the individual learning progress and offer targeted support.

Learning path courses are primarily intended for linear course structuring, but can also be structured entirely or in parts hypertextually. Learning path courses are particularly suitable for the development of self-learning courses and online tutorials. Learning paths can be used to give learners a didactically well thought-out structure and sequence that they must follow.
If nothing else is mentioned in the online help, the term "course" refers to conventional courses. If it is about learning path courses, this will be mentioned explicitly.
Important note
Learning path courses cannot be unlocked for guests. If this is an important aspect for your implementation, please use a conventional course.
