Export Modes

You can generate courses in seven different modes:

Normal HTML pages

In normal web page mode, generated web pages are output as plain HTML and Javascript. The resulting zip file will have a suffix of _HTML.

WebCT HTML pages

In this mode, generated web pages are output as HTML and Javascript customised to appear correctly in WebCT Content Modules. The resulting zip file will have a suffix of _WCT. This mode is rarely used, as it is much faster to use the WebCT IMS package mode.

Blackboard package

In this mode a zip file is generated which can be imported into Blackboard as a Blackboard Unpackage file. The resulting zip file will have a suffix of _BB.

WebCT IMS package

If you are using WebCT v4.0 or later with the Content Migration Utility v2.0 or later, this mode provides a quick way of importing generated content and automatically creating a Content Module. The resulting zip file will have a suffix of _IMSWCT.

LRN IMS package

This mode generates pages in Microsoft's Learning Resource Interchange (LRN) Format. Pages are exported as plain HTML and Javascript, along with an IMS manifest file called imsmanifest.xml. Using the freely available Microsoft LRN Toolkit you can open this manifest file and view or edit the course as a collection of learning objects. The resulting zip file will have a suffix of _IMSLRN.

SCORM v1.2 package

This mode generates a SCORM v1.2 package. The package is compliant at the level SCO-RTE1 + Mandatory + Optional, which means that a SCORM-compliant VLE or LMS can launch the SCO, and that tracking data will be passed allowing the VLE or LMS to bookmark pages and track page views, course completion, time spent and question scores. The resulting zip file will have a suffix of _SCORM.

SCORM 2004 package

This mode generates a SCORM 2004 package. The package is compliant at the level SCO-RTE1 + Mandatory + Optional, which means that a SCORM-compliant VLE or LMS can launch the SCO, and that tracking data will be passed allowing the VLE or LMS to bookmark pages and track page views, course completion, time spent and question scores. The resulting zip file will have a suffix of _SCORM2004.

moodle SCORM v1.2 package

This mode also generates a SCORM v1.2 package. The package settings are appropriate for moodle v1.7 or earlier. The SCO mode is set to Single SCO, see Setting SCORM options topic for further details. The resulting zip file will have a suffix of _SCORM.

moodle SCORM 2004 package
