Sequencing

defualts defined in <imsss:sequencingCollection>

• only used if item is lacking the definition for that top level sequencing element

Objectives

• Only primary one contributes to rollup
• related to list of objectives through objective map (each objective in the map has read / write flags)

• each activity has a primary objective and a set of local objectives. a local objective becomes a global objective if it is referenced as the target objective in an objective map.
