How do I create a collection of objects when aligning by object?
When aligning by object in the Standards Alignment App, you can create a collection of learning objects based on filters. A learning object collection is a group of related learning objects within an account that you may want to align together. Some examples of collections are:
- All 4th grade math lessons
- Chapters from within a specific unit
- All writing assessment items
After you create a learning object collection, you can load it when aligning by object. You can also delete or rename a learning object collection.
