Working with assignable units

Assignable units are specific to projects you are preparing for LMS integration (AICC, SCORM projects). An assignable unit is the largest unit of organization in an AICC/SCORM-published project. Assignable units cannot contain other assignable units, but they can contain chapters, sections, tests, and/or pages.

With the addition of multiple assignable units, several new restrictions have been added to AICC/SCORM-published project materials generated by the program:

• Jumps between assignable units are only supported when publishing the content to SCORM (disconnected). Jumps between assignable units on a Web-published project violate the AICC guidelines for LMS direction of flow between assignable units.

• There must always be at least one assignable unit defined within the project. When you select the project type as AICC/SCORM for LMS from the Project Options setting on the Design ribbon, an assignable unit that encompasses the entire project is generated. If this option is not selected, and you publish to AICC, SCORM or CourseMill, an assignable unit encompassing the entire project is automatically created. For details about selecting project type, see Creating an AICC/SCORM project for a LMS.
