Lesson 2: The Learning and Training topic types

Posted on 09.21.18

The Learning and Training specialization Lesson 2: The Learning and Training topic types
Objectives
  • Define all of the L&T topic types.
  • Understand when to use each topic type.
  • List basic elements of each topic type.

The DITA L&T specialization defines five topic types that contain different types of course information:

  • <learningPlan>: provides a framework for planning learning content.
  • <learningOverview>: contains overall learning objectives and specifics for a course, such as audience, duration, and prerequisites.
  • <learningContent>: contains the actual learning content.
  • <learningSummary>: contains review materials.
  • <learningAssessment>: contains exercises, quizzes, or tests.

These topic types describe a wide range of information. Not everyone will use all of these topic types. For example, the source content for LearningDITA lessons does not use the <learningPlan>, <learningOverview>, or <learningSummary> elements. However, your course development process may require those elements.

This lesson provides an overview of each topic type.
