Lightweight Learning and Training

Requirements

Here are the minimum requirements for supporting L&T with lightweight DITA:

  1. Create and semantically identify learning objectives
  2. Create and semantically identify assessment items
  3. Create instructional content
  4. Integrate instructional content from other organizations
  5. Organize content into reusable collections for modular delivery

Questions

  1. Do we need all of the assessment support?
  2. If yes, then only *2?
  3. If no, then which items are not necessary?
  4. Do we need all of the elements from <learningOverview?
  5. If not, then what do we keep?
  6. Do we need all of the elements from <learningSummary>?
  7. If not, then what do we keep
  8. What elements do we need for maps?
  9. How do we support this subset? Constrain learningBase? Other?
