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.)
