LMS Package Generation

Create distribution-ready Learning Management System packages with proper structure, navigation, assessments, and completion tracking.

When to Use

• Export curriculum to LMS

• Create SCORM 1.2/2004 packages

• Generate Canvas course export

• Create Moodle backup

• Package for Blackboard/D2L

Required Inputs

• Curriculum Materials: Lessons, assessments, resources

• LMS Platform: SCORM, Canvas, Moodle, Blackboard, D2L

• Configuration: Course settings, grading, prerequisites

Workflow

1. Gather All Course Components

Collect:

• Syllabus and course info

• Learning objectives

• Lesson content

• Assessment items and rubrics

• Multimedia elements

• Resources and handouts

2. Generate SCORM Package

SCORM 1.2 or 2004 structure

course-package/ ├── imsmanifest.xml # Package manifest ├── adlcp_rootv1p2.xsd # Schema ├── index.html # Launch file ├── content/ │ ├── lessons/ │ ├── assessments/ │ └── resources/ └── scripts/ └── scorm-api.js # SCORM communication

Manifest Structure:

<manifest identifier="COURSE_ID" version="1.0"> <metadata> <schema>ADL SCORM</schema> <schemaversion>2004 4th Edition</schemaversion> </metadata> <organizations default="ORG_ID"> <organization identifier="ORG_ID"> <title>Course Title</title> <item identifier="UNIT1" identifierref="RES_UNIT1"> <title>Unit 1: Introduction</title> <item identifier="LESSON1" identifierref="RES_LESSON1"> <title>Lesson 1.1</title> </item> </item> </organization> </organizations> <resources> <resource identifier="RES_LESSON1" type="webcontent" href="content/lesson1.html"> <file href="content/lesson1.html"/> </resource> </resources> </manifest>

3. Generate Canvas Export

{ "course": { "name": "Course Title", "course_code": "COURSE-101", "term": "Fall 2024", "modules": [ { "id": 1, "name": "Unit 1: Introduction", "position": 1, "items": [ { "type": "Page", "title": "Lesson 1.1", "content": "...", "position": 1 }, { "type": "Assignment", "title": "Unit 1 Assessment", "points_possible": 100, "rubric": {...} } ] } ], "assignments": [...], "quizzes": [...], "rubrics": [...] } }

4. Generate Moodle Backup

<moodle_backup> <information> <name>Course Backup</name> <moodle_version>4.1</moodle_version> <backup_date>...</backup_date> </information> <contents> <activities> <activity id="1" moduleid="1" modulename="page">...</activity> <activity id="2" moduleid="2" modulename="quiz">...</activity> </activities> </contents> </moodle_backup>

5. CLI Interface
