Display of Learning Nets in the Learning Net Overview

Use

In this area of the screen, you can depict learning nets that you have created in the structure editor in different ways.

Features

Learning nets, learning objects , and instructional elements are displayed in a tree structure in the sequence in which they were created. A reference is automatically created for each learning net and learning object. The references in a learning net are displayed in the work space under the corresponding tab page titles. For more information, see the section entitled Structure Editor . You can also call a graphical display of all of the references in a learning net ( Display Reference Overview ).

Objects of the same kind, in other words, learning subnets, learning objects, or elements, are displayed on the same level. No hierarchies are displayed. The connections between learning objects and instructional elements are represented by relationships . Thus, the tree structure in the learning net overview does not necessarilyreflect the learning net structure.

You can choose from two different display options for learning nets and objects:

  • In the standard system, the Hierarchical Display of Learning Nets and Objects is switched on. Learning nets and learning objects are opened up one under the other.

  • If you deselect this option under Start of the navigation path Tools Next navigation step Customize Next navigation step General End of the navigation path , the editor switches to the second display option. With this option, the references are displayed one under the other in the learning net overview. Under this, the objects and elements are displayed if they were already open before you switched the display.

When you switch displays, learning objects that were already open are not opened again. The learning object display is retained. To refresh the display, you must close the learning object and reopen it. The learning object is then presented in the new display option.

Pushbuttons

You can use the buttons on the right side of the learning net overview to move references within the learning net or instructional elements within an object. This is not a copy function. You are simply changing the sequence of the references and instructional elements. This sequence is also displayed in the Content Player , but only if you have not created relationships between these elements . If you have created relationships, the instructional elements are displayed in the Content Player according to their relationships, and the sequence in the learning net overview is ignored.

You can also move references and instructional or test elements using Drag&Drop.

You can access specific functions for this screen area via the context menus as well.
