    • Student Group Automation: Based on customer feedback, we're refining a few functions before releasing this new feature that enables auto-enrollment using HealthStream Learning Center (HLC) student groups. Once available, jane administrators can auto-enroll learners into Pathways based on their department, job title, job category, etc. Once enrolled in the automated Pathway, learners are assigned assessments and development based on the Pathway’s configuration.
