independent AICC- or SCORM-compliant assessments and content and link

them into LearningSpace. Most of the authoring systems now available have

built-in support for AICC and SCORM. Make sure you set the correct property for

the Tracking and Launch Tracking API fields on the Activity property form.

15.4 Exporting and importing AICC-compliant courses

LearningSpace can export any course structure in the Planner module to

AICC-formatted text files. This means that content developers can reuse their

courses in other LearningSpace or AICC-compliant systems.You can import

AICC-compliant content as well. In this way, you can enable LearningSpace to

host thousands of courses currently available on the market. You can launch

these tools from the LearningSpace Database Utility (see Figure 15-10).

Figure 15-10 AICC course structure tools in LearningSpace Database Utility

Using these tools is quite easy. Refer to Chapter 5, “Using the LearningSpace

Database Utility” in the LearningSpace 5.01 System Administrator’s Guide.

Attention: LearningSpace stores more data about a course than AICC

recommends, so exporting and importing a course will lose some unessential

data, such as icon assignment to activities.
