    On Microsoft Learn, the three main training content types are:

    • Unit: a single web page of training content. Units are parts of a module and are not standalone trainings.
    • Module: a standalone, self-paced web-based training course made up of multiple units. Modules are usually small and focused on one skill or technology.
    • Learning path: a collection of related modules presented in a specific order to build a broader skill.

    If “session” was the term seen, the closest documented term here is unit for self-paced training, or course for instructor-led training:

    • Course: a synchronous, instructor-led training presented by an instructor.

    So the simplest distinction is:

    • Unit = one lesson page
    • Module = several units combined into one self-paced course
    • Learning path = several modules combined into a broader sequence
    • Course = live instructor-led training
