- A Content Object is for storing the content (e.g., video, eLearning, PDF, instructor-led training class).
- The content object has an offering and that is where you enroll clients.
- If the content object is a video, online course, PDF, etc., then you can only have one offering for the content object.
- If the content is for an ILT or VILT (scheduled instructor-led training classes - in-person or virtual), then you can have multiple offerings for each class - these are called sessions and can be configured for different dates, times, and instructors. NOTE: If the learner needs to select one time from multiple timeslots, you should create individual offerings for each session instead of multiple sessions for a single offering. This allows you to add the content object to the learning path, but set the Mandatory attribute to only require one option to be completed.
- Below are the most-used content objects. The value in the Type column is used when creating the Content Object and the value in the Modality column is used when creating the Offering for the content object.

| Audio (Podcasts, Live Speaker, MP-3) | Podcast | Audio |
| Video (RECOMMENDED - Downloaded Copy: YouTube, Vimeo, Vidyard, Teams/Zoom Recording, etc.) | Video | Video |

- The content objects can also be added into a learning path. These content objects can be grouped into section(s) of the learning path.
- A Learning Path can be standalone (typical for Franchise content) or it can be part of a Channel (also known as a subscription, such as Sales Mastery or Sales Development Series). A Channel can contain one to multiple learning paths.
NOTE: Once subscribed to a channel, additional bonus content can be found under the Content tab of the Channel.
