Higher-level organization with learning groups

Posted on 09.21.18

The Learning and Training specialization Lesson 5: Learning objects and learning groups Higher-level organization with learning groups

The <learningGroup> element allows you to build a lesson, a course, or even a curriculum by referencing multiple learning objects.

A learning group is similar in structure to a learning object. However, instead of containing references to learning content, the learning group can include:

  • Other learning groups
  • References to learning groups
  • Learning objects
  • References to learning objects

Because the <learningGroup> element can contain other <learningGroup> elements, it is flexible. However, its organization can also get quite convoluted. One possible way to reduce the complexity of the <learningGroup> element is to use references to learning groups and learning objects rather than directly including those elements.

Here is an example of a <learningGroup> element with learning topic and object references:

<learningGroup>
   <topicmeta>
      <navtitle>Feeders and Waterers</navtitle>
   </topicmeta>
   <learningOverviewRef href="lo_l3_feeders_waterers.dita"/>
   
   <learningObject>
      <topicmeta>
         <navtitle>Feeders and Waterers</navtitle>
      </topicmeta>
      <learningOverviewRef href="lo_l3_t1_feeders_waterers.dita"/>
      <learningContentRef href="lc_l3_t1_height.dita"/>
      <learningContentRef href="lc_l3_t1_cleanliness.dita"/>
      <learningContentRef href="lc_l3_t1_ducklings.dita"/>
      <learningContentRef href="lc_l3_t1_wet_litter.dita"/>
      <learningSummaryRef href="ls_l3_t1_summary.dita"/>
      <learningPostAssessmentRef href="lg_l3_t1_quiz.dita" type="learningGroup"/>
   </learningObject>
   
</learningGroup>
