Think of a newspaper. Where would you find headings in a newspaper? <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>In some cases however, specifically when preparing more specialized documents such as syllabi for college students, a study guide, or the parts of a lesson on a single page of a course in an LMS, it is better to “break up” the content using hierarchical heading structure in a way that promotes a natural reading flow through the material. This might mean grouping similar topics under one heading or even creating sub-topics using different heading levels. In the case of a textbook, you would have your standard chapter and section headings, but you may also create headings for side bars, notes, key terms, footnotes, etc… It really depends on the content and how it is being used.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Tristen<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
