This is a self-documenting sample that serves as a guide on how to author Skill Paths on iximiuz Labs. You can find the source of this document on GitHub. Feel free to use it as a starting point for your own skill paths.
What is a Skill Path on iximiuz Labs?
Skill paths are a way to organize and track the progress of a student's learning journey. They are a collection of tutorials, challenges, and other content types that are related to a specific topic.
How to Edit the Skill Path
The process is identical to the one described in the Sample Tutorial.
How to Control Skill Path Access
The process is identical to the one described in the Sample Tutorial.
Skill Path's Index File
The index.md file of the skill path typically has the short introduction to the skill path.
It's not required, but it's a good place to mention the main topics you'll be covering in the skill path,
and what the student can expect to learn from the skill path.
Similar to other content types, the skill path can also embed images from its __stаtic__ subdirectory.

Tutorial 1
Loading tutorial...
This unit demonstrates how to embed a tutorial card. Tutorial cards are floated to the left of the page, so you likely want to place your text after the card (but it's only a suggestion, not a requirement).
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Sed ut purus eget sapien. Nulla facilisi. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Sed ut purus eget sapien. Nulla facilisi. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Sed ut purus eget sapien. Nulla facilisi. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Sed ut purus eget sapien. Nulla facilisi. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Sed ut purus eget sapien. Nulla facilisi.
Challenge 1
This unit demonstrates how to embed a challenge card. Challenge cards are full-width elements. You can place your text before or after the card.
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Sed ut purus eget sapien. Nulla facilisi. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Sed ut purus eget sapien. Nulla facilisi.
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Sed ut purus eget sapien. Nulla facilisi. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Sed ut purus eget sapien. Nulla facilisi.
Course Unit 1
Loading course...
This unit demonstrates how to embed a course card. Format wise, course cards are similar to tutorial cards. The only difference is the title and the destination URL.
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Sed ut purus eget sapien. Nulla facilisi. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Sed ut purus eget sapien. Nulla facilisi. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Sed ut purus eget sapien. Nulla facilisi. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Sed ut purus eget sapien. Nulla facilisi. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Sed ut purus eget sapien. Nulla facilisi.
Course Lesson (flat course)
Loading lesson...
You can also embed an individual lesson from a course. This unit demonstrates how to embed a lesson from a simple "flat" course.
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Sed ut purus eget sapien. Nulla facilisi. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Sed ut purus eget sapien. Nulla facilisi. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Sed ut purus eget sapien. Nulla facilisi. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Sed ut purus eget sapien. Nulla facilisi.
Course Lesson (modular course)
Loading lesson...
Similarly to the flat course, you can embed an individual lesson from a modular course. The only difference is the lesson path, which in this case will have a module and a lesson slugs separated by a slash.
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Sed ut purus eget sapien. Nulla facilisi. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Sed ut purus eget sapien. Nulla facilisi. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Sed ut purus eget sapien. Nulla facilisi. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Sed ut purus eget sapien. Nulla facilisi. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Sed ut purus eget sapien. Nulla facilisi. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Sed ut purus eget sapien. Nulla facilisi.
Challenge 2
A single skill path can have an arbitrary number of challenge, tutorial, course, and lesson units. The skill path is marked as complete when all units are completed.
