Learning Objects are elements of Online Courses that contain training content, such as e-learning modules, videos, external links, surveys, etc. The refreshed Absorb LMS Admin Experience (AE) introduced three new Learning Object types to help you better organize, evaluate, and confirm training comprehension: Observation Checklist, E-Signature, and Use Existing.
Survey Learning Objects are used to collect learner sentiments and opinions. This article includes instructions on how to configure a Survey Learning Object.
