Assets: Anything in your course that isn’t text–the images, audio, or video content needed to bring your written content to life.
Content Map: A full outline/structure of your course. If you’ve worked directly with us, you’ve seen this map in your full course script. Here in Adaptive Content Authoring , it’s used to structure your course in the Content Map Sidebar.
Course Material: The information you want your learners to read about and understand within each category. For most organizations, this includes the actual policy text.
Key Concepts: What you want your learners to learn from the course.
Category: The highest-level grouping of content in a course. Think of these as ‘chapters’ in the book that is your course. Each Category has a section of Course Material attached to it and must contain at least one Topic.
Topic: The guideposts for what your learners take away from your course, Topics ensure the needed concepts in your content are tested. Each Topic must contain at least one Activity.
Activity: A clickable interaction that allows learners to apply what they’ve learned. E.g. Card Flip, Hotspots, Binary Swipe, Sliding Cards, Matching, and Fill In the Blank.
Scenario: The setting or context for an activity that practices a learning objective through a real-life application.
Difficulty Level: Courses use an adaptive framework to tailor each learning experience based on what the learner knows. This is accomplished by changing difficulty between two levels. ‘Normal’ content is achievable for the average learner, and ‘Difficult’ content is meant to challenge expert learners. Choose ‘Both’ if you’d rather not segment your content in this way.
Slide: A type of page you can add to your course that presents information only (is not interactive). There are several varieties of slide, depending on whether you want to teach via text, image, video, audio, or a combination of these media.
Question Data: A type of Slide that asks learners a custom survey question. Their answer can be used later in the course to show a particular Category or Slide only to learners who answered the question a certain way. This question and all answer data will appear in the I.Q. Portal.
