Work with subjects

Subjects are used to categorize your content within your Content Repository into groupings based on their educational discipline.

Associating content with a subject allows you to then easily locate a specific piece of content by searching for it based on its subject.

Content — Any component relating to the subject matter of a class (Example — Questions, Text, Lessons, Assignments, Interactive Narratives, Units, etc.).

Supplementary content — Components that support the creation, structure, and implementation of content (Example — Themes, Policy Sets, Slide Templates, Course Modules).
