Create a New Journey

Learn what Journeys are, when to use them, and how to create them.

What is a Journey?

Much like a Course, a Journey is a collection of content organized together to provide structure to learning. What makes Journeys different is that they can contain Courses in addition to learning objects, tips, flashcards, and quizzes. Content managers can assign journeys to groups and set a completion due date.

When to use a Journey vs. a Course?

Journeys should be used to create a more extensive collection of content that includes one or more Courses. Simply put, when you want a Course within a Course. 

Journeys provide another way for you to place content in a specified order. Learners can follow the flow set up by the Content Manager or navigate on their own.

A Course is intended to cover a single subject and allows content authors to add tests to check the learner's understanding of that subject. A Journey enables content managers to combine multiple courses to create an entire curriculum covering multiple subjects.
