Reload Editor Tutorial Part I - Create a package and import resources

With an emphasis on use for SumTotal 6.5 and SCORM 1.2

Once you have completed building a single learning module (called a "SCO" or "Shareable Content Object" in SCORM terms), you will probably want to link it together with a quiz or with other learning module SCO's.

To piece together multiple SCO's into a single learning module, you will need to replace the manifests created with each SCO with a single manifest that lists all of them. The Reload Editor is a tool which will allow you to create manifests which aggregate all types of learning modules together into a larger package.

The Reload Editor is available free from http://www.reload.ac.uk. The Reload editor works on Mac or PC, and requires the Java Runtime Environment which will have to be installed on a PC. (see instructions that come with the editor.)

  1. Create a new ADL SCORM 1.2 package:
    Reload - Create New package


  2. Save the newly created package file to a new folder. The new file screen looks like this:

  3. Reload - Initial Screen


  4. Import the SCO files that will be used in this combined module by clicking the Import icon:

    Reload - clickImport


    You can also simply drag them into the package Files folder:


    Reload - drag Import


  5. Your project should now look like something like this:

    Reload - package w/ 2 sets of files

  6. or this example, with three items (shown opened to display their resources)

Hi,

It seems you made a great job here.

I discovered your blog as I've got a problem with reload editor. In fact I launch the editor and when I try to create a new package, I've got this:
Could not create New Document
Could not load Profile: CP Default Profile

Have you already experienced that?
I you solved the problem, could you share please.

Best regards

I did not change the CP version of package when creating a new package and the problem stays when I try to create a new package, I've got this:

Hi,
I have the same problem with reload editor. Anybody can help me?

Hi all!
You have to start File /New /IMS Content Package.

You have to choose a folder with a short path - like C:/scorm or something like that. Then it works.
