Content Hierarchy

Authoring a collection of learning resources into a logical structure typically involves organizing the learning resources into a hierarchy. Often the most useful hierarchy closely reflects the taxonomic organization of the instructional design.

 

 

This table shows how different entities (designers, organizations, learning management systems) often use different terms to refer to similar concepts within a taxonomy.

It also illustrates how different schemes will not necessarily have the same levels and numbers of levels within their taxonomic hierarchy.
