The <learningPlan> topic type

Posted on 09.21.18

The Learning and Training specialization Lesson 2: The Learning and Training topic types The <learningPlan> topic type

The <learningPlan> topic type helps you organize information for planning lessons. This information includes:

  • Project description, including the title, dates, and subject.
  • Needs analysis, including organizational needs, audience needs, and the required environment for delivering the training
  • Approaches and strategies for teaching the content.
  • Technical requirements, such as the classroom environment or what type of learning management system (LMS) will contain the content

You specify the preceding information with the elements of the <learningPlan> topic. For example, to specify the description for a course, use the <lcPlanDescrip> element, which can contain paragraphs and unordered lists:

<lcPlanDescrip id="lcPlanDescrip_dnw_3bs_rcb">
   <title>Course Description</title>
   <p>This course is intended for owners of small- to medium-sized flocks of domestic ducks. Topics covered include:</p>
   <ul>
        <li>Feed Quality<ul id="ul_i2d_lds_rcb">
                <li>Source</li>
                <li>Protection</li>
                <li>Contamination and spoilage</li>
        </ul></li>
        <li>Feed Form</li>
        <li>Feeders and waterers</li>
        <li>Nutritional requirements</li>
        <li>Controlling disease</li>
        <li>Avoiding predation</li>
   </ul>
</lcPlanDescrip>  
            

Even though the L&T specialization contains elements exclusively for training content, these elements can contain DITA elements you use elsewhere in concept, task, and reference topics. The <ul> within the <lcPlanDescrip> is a good example.
