Content Packaging

Provide a standardized way to exchange digital learning resources between different systems or tools.

Content Packaging defines, among other things:

·        A Manifest file describing the package itself and which contains:

o       Meta-data about the package and;

o       An optional Organization section that defines content structure and behavior and;

o       A list of references to the resources in the package

·        How to create an XML-based Manifest

·        Directions for packaging the Manifest and all related physical files into a zip file or on a CD-ROM, etc.

SCORM packaging adheres strictly to the IMS Content Packaging Specification but provides additional explicit implementation guidance for packaging digital learning resources (Assets, Sharable Content Objects and Content Aggregations).
