How to create a Content object • Manually (---> Hands On) • Importing • Copying • Regardless of how you create a content object, there is certain information that is required : METADATA (description, objectives, audience, …) • Some required information is automatically filled in by the system when you create a content object. Other information must be filled in by you, including the starting URL (html, pdf, … ).

16. Preparing your Content for Publishing • The following options are available at the content object level: • Manage Reference Materials • Reference materials are Web-playable material located on a server. You include reference material as part of an offering by associating it with a content object and specifying its URL. • Manage Prerequisites • A prerequisite is a task a learner must fulfill before beginning or continuing a sequence of learning. Like other content objects, prerequisites represent Web-playable material located on a server • Manage Categories • Content Categories allow learners to use the Browse Catalog to find relevant offerings. The Browse Catalog feature is available from the Catalog tab on the learner's Home page.

17. Publishing • You can publish (and unpublish) content objects as an optional part of the process of assembling content. When you publish a content object, you are visually indicating that the content is available to be offered by other users, such as professors, but it is not yet available to the learners. • Published content objects are indicated by normal font in the Content Tree. • If you select a high-level content object to publish, all content objects contained within the object are automatically published as well.
