Content Aggregation

A Content Aggregation is a map (content structure) that can be used to aggregate learning resources into a cohesive unit of instruction (e.g. course, chapter, module, etc.)

The Content Aggregation defines the content structure that provides the mechanisms for defining the sequence that learning resources are to be presented to the user.

The LMS is responsible for interpreting the intended sequence described in the content structure and controlling the actual sequencing of the learning resources at run-time.

The SCORM recognizes, however, that some learning resources may contain internal logic to accomplish a particular learning task.  Such a learning resource might branch within itself depending on user interactions.  These branches are all self contained, relevant to a stand-alone learning resource (and therefore reusable) and are not usually visible to the LMS.
