Create multi-sco learning modules using the Reload Editor: Part I

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:

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

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

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