Add a Learning Event

A learning event is a reference in your learning plan to a learning activity such as a training course or seminar. You can add learning events to the Personal Learning tab. If your site utilizes development plans, you can also add them to the Development Plan set in your assigned learning plan.

Note: If you remove a learning event from the learning plan before you access it (which is a status of Not Started), the learning event does not display in your learner transcript. If you access it, then remove it from your learning plan, the learning event remains in your learning transcript.
