Importing Content packages

Import SCORM 1.2 or AICC packages into a course and learn how replacing existing content affects student history.

You can import SCORM 1.2 or AICC-compliant packages as course content. Each imported content package automatically receives a score and completion status based on the users' actions within the course content.

Before you begin

  • To replace a content item already loaded into the course, click the Replace existing imported items check box.

    Caution: If you have more than one SCO in the course content and this box is checked, the SCO you are importing will replace ALL other SCORM content in the course.

  • If the SCORM/AICC content you are replacing has a different ScoID or TitleID (in Lectora the default is I_A001), you will receive a warning that you are about to replace content with entirely new content and therefore delete all student history for this content item. This warning was created to prevent errors that were easily made by mistake. If you really want to do this, check the Ignore Gradebook ID Mismatch checkbox to override it.
  • Once users are enrolled in the course, the SCO name (Gradebook ID) cannot be altered. If it is, all history is lost, and the student will need to start the course all over again. The Gradebook ID name often comes from your authoring tool, so when you upload a new version of a course, make sure the SCO name in the authoring tool is the same as the CourseMill Gradebook ID.
  • Lectora users can publish content directly from Lectora to CourseMill. When this is done, the content package is automatically uploaded into the CourseMill course, and a separate import process is not required. See Processing SCORM-based content and Publishing Lectora and Lectora Online titles to CourseMill.
