Do Online Courses Need to be Associated with a Learning Plan?

Content

Hi,

We have always associated/delivered online courses via a learning plan(s) however is that a requirement?  Is it possible to just insert a (scorm 1.2) course into Learn and make it searchable without having it being associated with a learning plan?  We have several courses, that will always optional to our population, and because of this, rather than create a learning plan and add them all (as well as future courses) to it, i am wondering if i can just insert them into Learn and allow people to search for them individually.  Is a learning plan really required/necessary in this case or is
