Learning Object Map
Learning object maps include content on a lesson-level.
Structure
A Learning object map constitutes a single, reusable learning unit.
- Learning object map
- Learning object element
- Learning plan reference
- Learning pre-assessment reference
- Learning overview reference
- Learning content reference
- Learning summary reference
- Learning post-assessment reference
- Learning object element
Elements
- Learning object element
- The main element of a Learning object map that structures your instructional content into lessons.
- Learning plan reference
- A reference to a Learning plan topic.Tip:
You can use conditional processing to exclude Learning plan topics from the output.
- Learning pre-assessment reference
- A reference to a Learning assessment topic used as a pre-learning activity.
- Learning overview reference
- A reference to a Learning overview topic.
- Learning content reference
- A reference to a Learning content topic, task topic, concept topic, or reference topic.

Guidelines
Keep these guidelines in mind when creating Learning object maps:
- Append lesson-level content under a single Learning object element.
- Depending on your instructional design, you can append a Learning assessment topic as a Learning pre-assessment reference and/or Learning post-assessment reference. For more information, see Learning Assessment.
- To ensure maximum content reusability, keep each lesson in a separate Learning object map.
Example
The following example shows a Learning object map, “Authoring Topics,” that includes an internal learning plan, an overview, learning content (“Creating Topics”, “Create a Topic”, “Copy and Paste an Element in a Topic”, “Move Elements in a Topic”, “Insert an Image”, “Insert an Element in a Topic”), a summary, and a post-assessment. This Learning object map does not include a pre-assessment.
