EdCast organizes content in the LXP in three major types of content buckets. When contributing to the LXP, it's important to consider which of these three types might be best to organize content and guide learners to their learning objectives.
SmartCards are the basic unit of information in the LXP. They are used to direct learners to explore specific pieces of content in the handbook, watch recorded videos, or complete quick knowledge checks and assessments. Content in the LXP is built and arranged with SmartCards.
A Pathway is a collection of SmartCards organized as a learning path.
A Journey is a structured sequence of SmartCards and Pathways.
Content in the LXP is organized using the following structures. Learners use these structures to discover new content.
Carousels are horizontal containers of related channels or content assets.
Channels are the principal way in which content (SmartCards, Pathways, and Journeys) are broadcast to learners throughout the LXP. Channels can be customizable based on the vision of the learners using the LXP.
Groups are a collection of people with similar characteristics or learning interests.
