Terminology and Definitions

Zucchini or courgette? Even in the learning industry we sometimes use different words that mean the same thing. Here's a list!

Authoring Definitions

  • Program - A Program is a learning journey, topic or subject, depending on the nature of your organisation. It might be an orientation program, or a university subject, or a leadership course, or a customer service course. In essence, a program is a collection of learning experiences that are related to each other in some way.

  • Experience - An experience is more commonly referred to a module. It is a chunk of learning that can be packaged up and exported as a SCORM module or xAPI module.

  • Bite - If you have a lot of information to include in your learning experience, break it into sections by using "bites". Think of bites as sections, topics, or even chapters.

  • Screen - A learning experience is made up of a series of screens, or pages.

  • Content Object - Each screen can be made up of one or more content objects, for example text, image, video or question.
