If you are interested in how to structure a Journey in the best way - you've ended up in the right place 🤩
What is the Journey function?
The Journey function in the platform is where you assign the learnings to your users.
If we apply this to the book metaphor, the modules are the chapters, the learning path is the book, and the Journey is who you would like to assign this book to.
It is within the Journey that you create a user journey. Here, you can decide how you want to structure your Journeys depending on what learning path you think makes sense to have in what order. We will also discuss how to structure your Journey so it makes sense to have it as a user journey.
Who do you want to assign the learning to?
You can choose who you want to have the Journey be assigned to based on these different types:
- Job profile
- Departments
- Permission type
The option to add users manually is also available. Simply search them by name or filter through Job profiles, Departments or Permission types to find them.

Different ways to structure your user Journey
Pearls in a row - New learning is assigned after finishing the previous one.
Sun Journey - Multiple learnings assigned at the same time.
Single Journey - One learning path attached to a Journey
Here, you can see a visual example of the different ways you could structure your learning path.
What should you keep in mind when structuring a user Journey?
Keep it simple - Start small & think big
Keep the structure and set a clear purpose for sharing - If you want your users to take the learning sequentially, then it's better to structure it as a user journey rather than a sun Journey.
Know your purpose - Is the Journey built to be aimed towards a user group or subject?
Will it make sense as a user journey? - Your users will see the material the same way you set it up. Rethink whether a sun Journey makes the most sense for them to see or if they should see their learnings as pearls in a row. The end goal for them is to see how they will evolve throughout the journey.
Activating user Journey
When enabling a visible user Journey, you give your users the option to see what learnings are to come.
Why should you enable the user Journey?
Visualise their learning journey: Your users will see the sequence of learning material assigned to them and activities that lead to their learning objectives.
Track their progress: They can monitor their progress through each milestone.
Identify obtainable skills: Understand the skills they will gain throughout the learning journey, enabling them to visualize their career advancement.

Recommendations for user Journeys
Your users will see their journey in the same structure as it is in the Journey; therefore, the structure should make sense for them.
A sun Journey that doesn't open up any additional learning paths is not ideal for a learning journey. Structuring your Journey as pearls in a row is our best recommendation for your users to get the full value from seeing the entire journey.
This is how a Journey with the pearls in a row structure would look for your users.
