What is a Learning Path?

This article explains what Learning Paths are in Big Think+ and how to use them to build a focused set of leadership or business skills over time.


A Learning Path is an organized series of Video Lessons that guide you through a topic. Each Learning Path is built around a key leadership or business capability — like communication, hiring, or innovation — and brings together insights from multiple experts to help you build mastery over time.

What will I see on a Learning Path page?

Each Learning Path includes:

  • A title that provides a brief introduction to the topic

  • A list of Learning Objectives to set your focus

  • A lineup of expert-led video lessons from multiple speakers

    • Each video lesson tile shows the title, expert, duration, and completion progress

  • Options to add the learning path to a curation or share a direct link to the full path

How can I make the most of a Learning Path?

  • Start from the top and move through lessons in the suggested order

  • Review the Learning Objectives to keep your focus aligned with the overall goal

  • Watch and reflect, taking notes on Video Lesson pages as you go

  • Revisit the path when you want a refresher or to share with a teammate

When should I use a Learning Path?

Learning Paths are ideal when you:

  • Want to develop a full capability, not just learn an isolated concept

  • Prefer structured content organized by skill

  • Enjoy learning from a range of expert perspectives
