After launching the item, the user can explore the content structure, which is made up of objects. If the item includes only one object, there is no structural navigation, and the user is taken directly to the content.

When the content has been finished, the user sees a confirmation message and, if there is a survey attached, they see a link to launch the survey. ​

Items Classified as Other

Items classified as Other are not scheduled and have no online content. An example of an item classified as Other is a task-based checklist.

Task Checklist tab is highlighted to display the task checklist.

Instructor-led with Online Content Item 

Instructor-led with online content items combine traditional instructor-led training with online content. Learners participate in live, instructor-led sessions where they can interact with the instructor and other participants. Additionally, they have access to online content, such as videos, presentations, and quizzes that supplement the instructor-led sessions.

This blended learning approach allows learners to engage in both synchronous and asynchronous learning activities. This enables them to acquire knowledge and skills at their own pace while still benefiting from the guidance and expertise of an instructor.
