We have purposefully avoided using nomenclatures like:\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> Topic &#8211;&gt; Section &#8212;&gt; Unit or\n<\/li>\n<li> Module &#8211;&gt; Unit &#8212;&gt; Lesson.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This makes it easier to re-use and integrate resources across institutions, and to avoid ambiguity which may arise when the same concept is used to mean different things in different contexts and environments.\n<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"mw-headline\" id=\"Course_outline_structure\">Course outline structure<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Learners are free to choose their own labels for the structure of their site to sequence and chunk the learning materials. In this course, you are required to develop one learning pathway. Usually &#8216;learning pathways&#8217; are situated within the context of a larger course structure &#8211; so, for example, this course has the following structural components:\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> <b>Startup<\/b> which provides the steps for getting started\n<\/li>\n<li> <b>Course guide<\/b> which contains information about the learning outcomes for the course, an overview, the course syllabus, and list of challenges\n<\/li>\n<li> <b>Interactions<\/b> where copies of course announcement emails are posted, together with the aggregated course feed\n<\/li>\n<li> <b>Application portfolio<\/b> which is a requirement for gaining access to this course\n<\/li>\n<li> <b>Learning challenges<\/b> which lists the individual learning pathways and sub-pages (i.e. the courseware which guides learners through the learning resources and course activities)\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For the purposes of this course, you are not required to develop the outline structure for a full course site. The minimum requirements for the course outline are:\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> Course landing page or homepage for the course (where you will provide some information about the site)\n<\/li>\n<li> One learning pathway\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Of course, you are free to develop a more comprehensive structure, but the main focus of this section is to set up the outline sequence of individual pages within the learning pathway you are developing.\n<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"mw-headline\" id=\"Example_sequence_of_an_individual_learning_pathway\">Example sequence of an individual learning pathway<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The outline of a learning pathway is a list of the sequence of individual pages planned for a learning session; in other words, a &#8216;table of contents&#8217; for individual pages of your learning pathway that will be listed in the navigation of the website. The outline is used for chunking concepts, which sets out the sequence of individual webpages and navigation for a learning pathway. For example, in this course, the sequence of pages for the learning pathway  titled &#8220;<a rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/wikieducator.org\/EDT4OL\/_Outline\">Outlining a learning pathway<\/a>&#8221;
