Learning Goals

To set up a learning goal you can select one or multiple vulnerabilities that you want learners to focus on. These could be goals to meet your compliance requirements or just the vulnerabilities that matter the most to your organization. 

When a learning goal is set up, it doesn't change the content of the quest. It will provide guidance to the learner via the UI to filter content that is marked as a company learning goal. 

Note: To achieve the learning outcome, a learner must complete all the content associated with the chosen vulnerability or concept.

How to Add a Learning Goal 

Step 1 

Navigate to the Learning goals dashboard by selecting the "Administration" dropdown and selecting "Learning goals" 

Step 2

Click the "Create new" button 

Step 3

Start by giving the goal a name, then configure it as desired.

• Goal Name: The name of the goal end learners will see.
• Mandatory Goal: Make the goal mandatory to prioritize it over optional goals.
• Badge: Upload a badge that learners will earn once they achieve the goal.
• Objectives: The vulnerabilities that you want learners to focus on 
• Start Date: Determines when the goal becomes visible to learners 
• End Date: Determine the goal's deadline, after which it will disappear for learners 

Step 4 

Now the goal is ready to be published. Click the  "Save & Publish" button to publish the goal or 
"Save as draft" if you aren't ready to publish it yet.

Step 5

When you click the "Save & Publish" button, you will receive a pop-up to confirm that you want to publish the goal. Click "Publish" or "Schedule" to proceed

No Start date: learners will see the goal immediately 

Start Date in the future:

Do users get notified when a new goal is created?

Yes,  but only if the "Send Goal-based emails" setting in the "Communications" page is enabled.



Please keep the following in mind:

• Users who have selected languages that are irrelevant to the goal -  will not receive any emails.
  
  Example: The user selected backend languages/frameworks and the vulnerabilities included in the goal are relevant to frontend languages/frameworks)
  
  
• Users who have selected languages relevant to the goal - will receive an email titled "You have been assigned a goal".
  
  Example: The user selected backend languages/frameworks and the vulnerabilities included in the goal are relevant to backend languages/frameworks)

• Users who have not yet selected a language(s) - will receive an email titled "Select your development languages on Secure Code Warrior"
  
  

  Note: The reason this group of users doesn't get the "you have been assigned a goal" email is that it's not possible to determine whether the goal applies to them before they select their preferred language(s)
