Understand the different training path models
The model of a training path defines how it looks on the learner side and some of its features. Teach Up offers four models: Odyssey, Dark, Light and Carrousel. Odyssey is selected by default and is the most complete.

“Make your learning experience a more personalized one.” The default model, and the only one that offers:
- the “Main color” applied to the training path;
- the choice of “Display for the learner” for each section: “Free mode (tiles)” or “Linear mode (step by step)”;
- the “Home page” / “Course overview” menu on the learner side;
- Macro Adaptive (if the option is enabled on your account);
- an experience presented as accessible.
