This article will go through the different types of content within the LMS.
Within the LMS there are five different types of content that can be made.They are:
- Assets
- Modules
- Courses
- Learning Paths
- Collections
Please see below for an idea as to what they relate to.
Assets:
These are seen as extra reading and support documents for your learners, these can be things such as company policies relating to a specific compliance course or they could be blank documents for your learners to download.
Modules:
These are what goes into a course itself, several modules are put into a course to make up that learning. These modules can be various types from assessment, checklists, pages of information or even modules that you have from a previous provider.
Courses:
These are how learners in our system gain skills and complete learning. These courses are made up of different modules put together in order and a learner would only be able to complete a course when all the modules within it are completed.
Learning Paths:
These are a sequence of courses put together that learners in our system can complete in order (or out of order depending on your preferences) to gain a series of skills. This will usually be used for a pack of mandatory learning for new starters. Completion percentages for this can be reported on.
Collections:
These are like a folder of different pieces of content that goes together that can be given to a learner as a pack of recommended reading. This differs to a learning path in the sense that collections can have assets, learning paths and courses within them and then it can be given over to a learner or team. An example for this would be to collate a group of content around fire safety and then give access to all Firewardens within your company.
