How to group Courses

[ViníciusBarros]

Hello, I am current trying to create a learning program to my coworkers and would like to know if it is possible to group different courses into a learning journey. Let's say it is a software learning journey composed of courses for multiple tools (Power BI, Jira, Excel etc.).

Is it possible to do it?

Hello @ViníciusBarros 

It sounds like what you are looking for is cross-listing or combining of courses. However, this is typically used for combining of courses with the same curriculum and content i.e. Math 1010 and another Math 1010 course. You can read more about combining courses here:

Seems really close to what I am aiming for, but I am trying to visualize it. This seems to me that a section is transferred to another course, what I would like to do is to, for example: On a home page you have 5 different curriculums, you can choose Math 1010, and inside this group you will be able to see all the courses available for that curriculum (Math 10101, Math 10102, Math 10103 ....)

It seems that you may just need a "Start Here" course that contains course descriptions and links to the actual courses. In this "Start Here" course your home page might have a link or button for each option: Power BI, Jira, etc. that links internally to a Page that further describes that path. Somewhere on THAT Page you would place a link or button to "Enroll in This Path" which then links externally to a separate course (e.g. Power BI). Depending on how your system is set up, the courses with content might need to be set for self-enrollment.

I'm not good with visuals, but here's a try:

"Start Here" Canvas course - contains multiple Pages with course path descriptions

Power BI-1 Canvas course - contains content for the first course in this path, accessed from "Start Here" course

Power BI-2 Canvas course - contains content for the second course in this path, accessed from the last requirement in Power BI-1

Power BI-3 Canvas course - contains content for the third course in this path, accessed from the last requirement in Power BI-2

...and so on 

Jira-1 Canvas course - same idea

Jira-2 Canvas course

etc.

If your "learning journeys" are short, and not full-fledged courses, you could just put each pathway into its own Module within one Course, with or without Requirements.

Power BI Module 

Jira Module

Excel Module

You also could look at using Mastery Paths within one course if your institution has this feature enabled:

I did something similar for my team when we needed to learn different tools, like Power BI, Excel, and Jira. What helped me a lot was using an atlassian epics format for organizing the courses. It’s like breaking down a big goal (learning a whole bunch of tools) into smaller, more manageable chunks. Each course was like a different story under the same “epic,” and it made tracking everyone’s progress much easier.
