Programs With a Learning Journey Map
How learning journey maps work when a program is offered in Academy.
What This Is For
Some programs use a learning journey map (hotspots on a background image) instead of only a linear list. When that program is an Academy product—including external or public Academy experiences where your organization uses them—learners can follow the same map ideas in the Academy participation flow.
Core journey-map behavior in the library is documented under Programs. This page covers what changes when the program is offered through Academy.
Who This Is For
Administrators offering mapped programs in the catalog; learners taking those programs from Academy (signed in or, for Public programs, anonymously via product link).
What Learners See
- From the program overview, learners may see the journey directly on the page or open a journey map (or similarly labeled) view for a fuller experience—depending on how your workspace presents the catalog.
- The same ideas apply as in Learn: hotspots represent steps (informational-only, or linked to content); unordered vs ordered hotspots (with locking until the learner reaches the correct index); on the map, linked hotspots show progress at a glance (all complete vs not all complete), and learners open the hotspot for each item’s detail.
- A short introduction may appear the first time someone opens the map.
Public and Signed-In Paths
For Public programs, anonymous visitors with the product link can follow the map experience where enabled; signed-in users use the normal program flow and take owned content in Learn after enrollment. If the whole Academy is public, catalog visitors can also discover the program in the storefront.
Completion rules, certificates, and program licenses still follow your content and Academy settings—see Content Licenses and Public Content.
