Summary
Learning Plans are often used to model the application process for a Credential, but can be used for other purposes as well. In technical terms they provide a way of visually organizing a series of data collection requirements into a series of tasks, which helps make the process more user-friendly.
Learning Plans collect data using Activities. They also have an overarching Workflow that manages metadata about the process itself.
Learning Plan Definitions
A "Learning Plan Definition" is the set of configuration that describes the application process, the requirements for starting and submitting the application, and the Member Role that is granted upon successful completion of the "Complete Learning Plan" Workflow.
Since a Learning Plan Definition describes the process of obtaining a specific Credential, it "belongs to" a specific Discipline. (Disciplines represent scopes of practice, and by definition a Learning Plan defines the process for demonstrating competence or knowledge within that scope of practice)
Learning Plan Instances
A "Learning Plan Instance" is the intersection between a Learning Plan Definition and a specific Member Role. It represents an "instance" of the generic process modeled by the Definition as it pertains to the Member Role for a specific Practitioner.
In other words, if the Learning Plan Definition describes the process by which someone applies for a Credential, then the Learning Plan Instance represents a specific user's application.
