What are Streams?

  • Streams help configure requirements for different groups of learners to control a learner’s pathway to completion.
  • Goals are made up of Streams and Elements to maintain compliance or achieve completion.
  • Streams can be organised using Connections.  Learn more about the key components of Birch here.
  • Can have different target audiences, registration rules, connections, completion requirements, compliance settings for a more granular approach to learning and development.
  • Report on compliance for a Goal across users who may have entirely different learning paths required to reach their achievement.

Powerful registration rules to control the flow of learning

Goals and Streams control the flow from one Element to another to provide learners a blended approach to learning.

The Goal below has multiple streams with a registration rule that learners need to complete the 1st stream before they can access the 2nd stream.  The learner will only see the current stream, with a lock indicating access to the 2nd stream.

Birch Learning Platform Streams

Other registration rules include:

  • Learners access a Stream or Element:
    • upon completion of another Stream
    • if they have passed, failed an Element
    • after a set number of days from registration
    • when they have completed the current Stream or Element
  • Set Streams as compulsory, an elective or optional
  • Renew on completion due date or number of days before they need to do the Stream again.
