This help document shows you how to add learning object types to your course. The learning object types are LO types to include in each lesson such as a warm-up or practice problems.
When Building a New Course, you go through five steps. Selecting the learning object types to include in the lesson is part of Step 3: Specifying Lesson Structure.
Select Learning Object Type
In this step, you can outline the lesson structure you want for the course. This lesson structure is built out of "learning object types" which correlate to activities or tasks to include in the lesson.
The course builder will display a list of learning object types that you can add to the lessons within your course:
Click the checkbox to the left of any learning object type you want included in your lessons. For example, in the image below we have selected a warm-up, guided practice, and printable practice problem to include in each lesson.
**NOTE** Learning object types can include a variety of areas depending on what you select previously in your course setup.
Reorder Lesson
You can also reorder the learning object types in the lesson by dragging and dropping. There are two methods of moving an item:
- Hover over the equal sign (=) to the left of the item until your cursor changes to a four-way arrow. Then click to grab that item, drag it to whatever spot in you would like to move it, and release it.
- Click on the learning object type name, and the checkbox will then have a light purple circle around it. Drag it to where you want to place it in the lesson and release.
Estimated Lesson Duration
As you add learning object types to your lesson, the “estimated lesson duration” will increase based on the expected duration of each learning object type that you add to your lesson. The estimated lesson duration will be calculated based on the expected duration of the learning object types selected and a 3-minute buffer between each learning object.
See Course Builder | Step 3: Specify the duration of a lesson within a course for additional information on setting lesson duration.
Next Steps
Once you have the learning objects selected that you want to include in the lessons, click the Next button at the bottom of the screen to move on to Course Builder | Step 4: How to edit the course hierarchy.
