What are the different settings at the learning path level
When a learning path is created, settings are inherited from the course settings including content review and mastery/grading settings.
Basic Info
- Title: This is the title of the learning path.
- Description: This is the description for the learning path.
Student Learning
- Learning Progression - Self-Paced or Fixed: This setting controls how the student progresses through the learning path.
- Avg. Time - Show or Hide: This setting controls whether the student sees the average sitting time for each concept. The average sitting time is set when a concept is created.
- Concept Review: These settings control whether the student can review questions, results, or feedback. The default setting is to allow students to review questions, results, and feedback. These settings are inherited from the course settings but can be overwritten at the learning path level.
- Item Feedback: These settings control whether the student receives feedback for correct and incorrect responses. The default setting is to show feedback for correct and incorrect responses. These settings are inherited from the course settings but can be overwritten at the learning path level.
Note: These settings are frozen when an LTI connection is established.

Initial Diagnostic
Note: This setting is frozen when an LTI connection is established.
- A learning path can require an initial diagnostic. If required, the user will need to set the question set parameters (item type, Bloom's taxonomy level, and number of questions) which will control how many questions from each concept the student will need to answer. If a learning path requires a course initial diagnostic, then the unit level initial diagnostic is not available.
Note: This setting is frozen when an LTI connection is established.

Mastery & Grading
Note: These settings are frozen when an LTI connection is established.
- Grading Level: Grades are calculated at the unit or concept level.
- Grading Scope: Choose all steps gradable or gradable steps only. This setting is inherited from the course settings when a learning path is initially created. If a course setting is gradable steps only, this can be overwritten at the learning path level by selecting all steps gradable (except instruction steps).
- Target Percent: Controls the mastery percent level (the mastery score needed to master a concept) for the learning path. This setting is inherited from the organization settings. Any updates to the mastery target at the organizational level are not automatically updated at the learning path level.
- Calculation Method: Choose Straight Average or Weighted Average. If Weighted Average is set at the course level, the item type weights are inherited but can be overwritten at the learning path level.
Note: These settings are frozen when an LTI connection is established.
