What is Learning Unit?

Learning Units enable instructors to set a structured path for progressing within Content Areas. This allows students to view content in an intuitive and self-paced style. All types of contents, such as Items, Assignments, and Test may be included in a Learning Unit. The instructor may allow students to access content in a Learning Unit in any order or force them to view it sequentially. Learning Units can be set to open in a new window, which reinforces the idea that they are distinct learning modules. Content within a Learning Unit is added and managed just like content in a folder. The Learning Unit is a shell to which other content, such as files, is added. Learning Unit can be modified like any other item within a Content Area.
