Learning Programs Overview
A Learning Program is the foundation of every Skyllful curriculum, the container that holds your courses, modules, and lessons and organizes them into structured pathways built around real job roles.
What is a Learning Program?
A Learning Program is where your training takes shape, and it is the starting point for everything you build. Before you capture a screen, build a replica, or design a lesson, you create the Learning Program that will hold it. Each program is built around real job roles and skill needs, so learning stays focused, structured, and results-driven.
Aspect |
What it does |
|---|---|
| Purpose | Organizes training materials into logical sequences that fit your team, creating defined pathways for specific job roles, departments, or levels of training. |
| Function | Serves as the working home for your training. It holds the lessons you build, is where users and their assignments are administered, and houses the default settings that govern the program. |
Everything in Build & Publish Content happens inside a Learning Program, so this is the first thing you set up. Once your program exists, you can move on to Capture Content.
Why do Learning Programs matter?
Learning Programs provide structure and clarity, so every learner receives targeted training that meets their specific needs. They turn scattered content into coherent learning journeys.
Benefit |
What it means for your team |
|---|---|
| Ensure consistency | Maintain uniform training standards across departments and job roles, regardless of location or team structure. |
| Accelerate onboarding | Get new hires up to speed quickly with structured, role-specific training that delivers essential skills from day one. |
| Centralize administration | Manage users, assignments, and program settings in one place rather than across separate systems. |
| Standardize your defaults | Set lesson defaults, languages, SSO, and job roles once at the program level, and everything built inside inherits them. |
What are the key components of a Learning Program?
A Learning Program is your curriculum. Its structure has three connected levels, each nested inside the one above it, that work together to deliver focused training.
Component |
Role |
|---|---|
| Courses | The learning paths inside a program. Each course focuses on a specific knowledge area or business process and bundles related content for a given role. |
| Modules | The sections inside a course. Each module targets a single learning objective and provides the content learners need to apply it. |
| Lessons | The focused learning units inside a module. Each lesson centers on a single objective and can include modes such as Talkthrough, Walkthrough, Practice, Knowledge Check, or Video. |
Courses, modules, and lessons are the content side of a Learning Program. The program is also where users are administered, which is why it has to exist before you can add users or assign training to them.
