Retrieving learning objects to Content with their navigation intact

You can retrieve learning objects into Content and retain the relation of topics to each other and their place in modules. There are two primary ways to retrieve learning objects into your course offering:

• Import the modules and topics into Content with modules and topics intact, and creating copies of all the learning objects in your course files.
• Create links to the objects in the LOR without importing the files into you course files, but still retaining the navigational structure of the object. Links are established two ways:
• Dynamic links always take users to the newest version of the learning object or asset, regardless of what version existed when you created the link.
• Locked links always take users to the same version of the learning object or asset to which you establish the link. Changes to future versions of the learning object or asset have no affect on the link.
