15.6 Integrating third-party content

There are several third-party content providers that have thousands of courses.

IBM has prepared vendor-specific guidelines for integrating content with

LearningSpace. For the latest updates of these guidelines, see:

Example

Following the instructions for integrating NETg courses (using directions from the

vendor), we were able to import NETg courses with the Database Utility without

error. Be sure to include “/” at the end of the path (see Figure 15-11 on

page 223).
