At the moment OLAT only provides CMS features in a rudimentary form. This means that within OLAT, there are no suitable editors to create complex learning contents containing Flash animation, Java scripts, pictures or movies. You better use known editors such as Dreamweaver, GoLive, PSPad, or XMetal instead. OLAT supports two different e-learning standards: IMS-CP and SCORM (for further information go to Kapitel 6. OLAT Reference). Consequently, you have to save your learning content created outside OLAT in IMS-CP or SCORM format (Sharable Courseware Object Reference Model) in order to be able to import it into OLAT. Some editors put a IMS-CP or SCORM plugin at your disposal. If not, please use the Reload editor for free (see also OLAT Reference). Reload editor: http://www.reload.ac.uk .
If you do not know any editor or have no preference for a certain product, feel free to use the HTML editor (XHTML) inside OLAT in order to create simple learning contents or homepages. For further information go to Kapitel 6. OLAT Reference.
On the pre-condition that you have already created your learning content and generated an IMS-CP or SCORM file (Zip file), we will proceed to the next step.
Your second step is to
log in as OLAT user with author rights (you are in your Home index right now),
select "Learning resources" in the menu,
click "CP learning content" or "SCORM learning content" in the box "Add",
select "Transfer file", search for your CP or SCORM Learning Content Zip file on your local disc. Then click "Save",
wait till your Zip file has been transferred. Then insert at least a "Title" and a "Description" and click "Save".
Your CP or SCORM learning content is now complete and can be implemented in your course.
