Learning and training elements

Use the learning and training topic types to provide the instructional content, according to the needs identified by the learning goals and objectives.

Use the learning and training map domain to organize groups of topics as learning objects. Defined as a map domain, these elements are available for use within any DITA map, not just a learning-specific DITA map. For example, you could include learning objects in a DITA generic map or in a DITA bookmap.

Use the learning interactions to construct a basic set of question and response interaction. The domain also provides an lcInstructornote element, which you can use to provide instructor-specific information in the learning topics.

Use the learning and training metadata to describe specific characteristics of the learning content. The learning and training metadata elements provide a robust metadata model for learning objects, built upon industry standards and best practices. Defined as a domain, these elements are available for use in both the topic prolog and the map topicmeta.

This group includes those elements that are specifically related to learning, but do not fit in to one of the other major learning groups.
