Topics

Topics are the individual sharable content objects (SCOs) that would be added into a
Module then into a Learning Activity

Modules

Modules can be added to include structure within a Learning Activity. Modules would
include the Topics

Activities which include Modules and Topics are single entities of learning and defined by
Type, as follows:

• e-learning
• Video
• Audio
• Workbook
• Assessment
• Survey
• Training Needs Analysis
• On-The-Job Training
• Virtual Workshop or VCT
• Workshop or ILT
• External Resource

These individual pieces of learning can be searched or accessed via the Learning
Library.

Activities can be:

• opened for access by anybody for self-led learning
• recommended by a manager and/or Skills Analysis assessments
• restricted/assigned to specific groups based on organisation structures

Learning Plans are a way of grouping Activities in a simple structure, curricula or list.
This could be by subject or learning progression, or as part of a blended learning
approach using different types of activities to embed a learning subject.

This is a good way of digitally transforming a traditional face-to-face learning
intervention into a blended online approach, consistent with multiple activity types.

Example:
A face-to-face induction is transformed for online delivery using a combination of
Videos, e-learning, On-the-job and Workbook activities, structured by weeks 1 to 4 of
a new starter’s first month in the role.

Learning Journeys are larger programmes of learning undertaken over a longer
period of time, such as a career pathway.

These programmes of learning can contain a combination of both Activities and
Plans. In addition, one Journey can link to another Journey to provide a branching
progression, or optional directions for a delegate to pursue.
