You can select which skills are your current focus for learning. When you set focus skills, this allows you to display only these skills in the 'Explore' pane of the Course Explorer, making it easier to choose courses in your main areas of learning focus.
To set a focus skill, click on it in your LearnerShape graph, and click the 'Focused' toggle to green. You can choose to focus on skills in your target profile, as well as on current or intermediate skills if you want to learn more in those areas.
