For account administrators
Your existing members can start the course paths assigned to them as soon as they arrive at their Home screen. They won't need to wade through a bunch of email invites for every course or click any accept links. Simply add a course to their learning path and they will have instant access to start learning.
The current version allows account admins to assign existing courses and cohorts to existing members when no payment is required, but we plan to expand the functionality in the future. Stay tuned for more...

FAQs
Q. What should I do if I get the message "No cohort available"?
A. If you select a course, and see the message "No cohort available," you'll need to go and create a cohort first. Here's how to create a cohort.
Q. How do I know if "Add to Path" was successful?
A. You'll receive a confirmation message. If there are any errors (for example, if the member was already enrolled in the course you selected, you'll see a notification with those details).
You'll see the courses on the member's profile card, and you can see the enrollments listed under their activity tab.
Q. Can I use Add to Path when payment is required?
A. Add to Path will never charge the individual for the enrollment. You can still use Add to Path to add someone to a cohort with a price set on it, but they will be added for free.
Q. Can I use Add to Path to add new members?
A. Add to Path only works with existing members at this time.
Q. Why isn't Add to Path working?
A. Here are a few reasons why you may not be able to use Add to Path:
You're trying to add someone to a cohort that is priced as "subscription only." First have the individual subscribe (you can provide a discount code for a free period if needed). Then they can enroll or you can use Add to Path to enroll them.
You're trying to add a learner to a course that is part of a Collection. Learners should be added to the Collection cohort. Once enrolled in the Collection, they simply click into any course inside the Collection. We've disabled learner invites and Add to Path for courses inside Collections.
