To assign objectives to a unit of instruction, follow these steps:
1.On the Main Menu select "Workbench", then "Design Activities" and choose the "Sequencing" activity.
2.In the Objective Hierarchy window, expand the hierarchy, if necessary. Highlight one or more objectives to be assigned to a unit of instruction.
a.
To highlight a range of contiguous (consecutive) items, click on the first item, then hold down the Shift key while clicking on the last item. All items between the first and last items will be highlighted.
b.To highlight non-contiguous items, click on each item while holding down the Ctrl key.
3.Drag the objective(s) to the Program window, and drop them on the target unit of instruction. A prompt will display 'Sequence objective(s) into selected program?' Click the OK button.
4.To rearrange the sequence of the objectives within the unit of instruction, simply drag and drop the objectives to arrange them as desired.
5.Repeat the process until all objectives have been assigned to a unit of instruction.
Tip: You can find or organize objectives to sequence into a unit of instruction by running a search. Review the searches listed in the Search 
Search, Design tab: "Objectives Associated with an Analysis Work Area Node" or "Recommended Objectives Sequence List."
What’s next?
You can print several reports at this point:
•Objectives Audit
•Program Hierarchy
•Program Syllabus
There are others. You can get them all from the VISION Reports window from Outcomes on the Main Menu.
From here, you're ready to develop content.
Tips for sequencing Objectives into a Program
In the Objective Hierarchy, highlight all of the objectives for a unit of instruction. Drag them in one operation to the selected unit.

VISION will recommend a training sequence
Here's a special trick to help you sequence objectives from an Objectives Hierarchy:
1.Select a target objective node, such as a Terminal Objective. 2.From the Main Menu, choose Search Search. 3.From the Search options tabs, select the Design tab; choose "Recommended Objectives Sequence List." Click the Run button. 4.VISION will arrange the objectives in the training order for the selected node. Highlight every objective in the "Recommended Objectives Sequence List," and drag them to the unit of instruction. |
1.Highlight the training unit in the Program Hierarchy window.
2.Look at the Objectives Linked to Program links window on the bottom of the screen. This window lists the objectives sequenced into the training unit.
3.Highlight the objective in the links window and drag it to your desired position. VISION will place the objective above the objective that you hover over (designated with an underline).

Program Prerequisites are used by the VISION Learning Station to ensure that learners take lessons in the appropriate order. In the VISION Developer module they are added to training units during the development phase.
To add prerequisites to a training unit, follow these steps:
1.Highlight the training unit to which you want to add prerequisites and right-click to bring up the pop-up menu. Select Prerequisites and the Program Prerequisites window will appear.
2.Here, you can add prerequisites to your training unit by selecting other training units and dragging them into the prerequisites window.
3.Click the Edit Requirement button to set specific parameters, like whether a student must take one of a variety of lessons, or if there is a specific lesson that they must take in order to move on to this one.
4.Click the Edit Requirements button to do either of the following:
a.Clicking the Enrolled check box will allow a VISION Learning Station student to visit a prerequisite prior to completing the one before it.
b.If there are multiple prerequisites you can specify whether the student must take all or some of them by right-clicking and selecting "AND" or "OR".
