How Learn content feeds the skills engine
Admins attach skills to PDF, Video, Quiz, and Role-Play content inside Modules > Learn > Learn Content. When a learner completes that content, the skill receives a signal. This article covers where to tag and how to verify the result.
What gets tagged with skills inside Learn?
Four content elements support skill tags:
PDF Content: the Skill Tags field on the PDF block.
Video Content: the Skill Tags field on the video block.
Quiz Questions: each individual question can carry its own Skill Tags, including the bulk-edit flow that requires a skill tag.
Role-Play templates: each role-play carries a Skills list. This is the highest-signal channel because every session produces per-skill evidence. See the dedicated article on Role-Play as a source.
Skill tags require the feature to be enabled on the tenant. If Skill Tags does not appear on a content block, ask the GFoundry team to enable it.
How do I tag a PDF or Video content block?
Go to Modules > Learn > Learn Content and open the content item.
Open the PDF Content or Video Content block.
Select Edit.
Find Skill Tags and select the skills you want to assign.
Select Update.
If no tags are selected, the block still works for learners but produces no skill signal.
How do I tag quiz questions?
Open the quiz content and edit a question.
Find Skill Tags on the question.
Use Select Skill Tags to pick the relevant skills.
Save the question.
For batches of questions, use the quiz bulk-edit flow. The bulk edit requires a skill tag on each question; questions without a tag are rejected.
How do I verify that skills are correctly attached?
Inside Learn Content, open the Skills Overview tab.
Review the skill tree. The view groups items by Level 4 Skills and Level 5 Skills.
For each skill branch, the counts show how many items, questions, PDFs, and videos are linked.
If a skill has zero items, the content is not currently signaling that skill.
Use this view before publishing to confirm coverage. A skill with no Learn signals will rely on the other channels (role-play, recognition, evaluation) to validate it.
What happens when a learner completes the content?
Completion of skill-tagged content registers a signal against each tagged skill for that learner. The signal joins all the other evidence collected from the other channels. The skill becomes validated only when the cross-channel evidence meets the threshold described in the overview article.
Tagging Learn content alone is unlikely to validate a skill on its own. Treat Learn as one of several reinforcing sources.
How do training programs and missions interact with this?
Training programs and missions are containers. They do not carry their own skill tags. They reuse Learn content items, and the tags on those underlying items are what feed the engine. To affect skill validation through formal learning, tag the content items themselves; the program or mission inherits whatever the items already carry.
