Getting Started with Course Builder

What is the Course Builder?

The Course Builder is a browser-based tool that allows you to create SCORM e-learning courses without any external software. It's designed to be:

• Easy to use - No technical expertise required
• Professional - Creates polished, branded courses
• Flexible - Add text, images, videos, and quizzes
• Compatible - Exports standard SCORM 2004 packages

What Can You Create?

Who Can Use It?

The Course Builder is available to:

• Administrators with the SCORM Builder feature enabled
• Content Authors (if your organisation has this role)

How It Works

The Course Builder lets you create professional SCORM e-learning courses entirely within your browser. You build courses visually, and the system generates SCORM 2004 packages that work seamlessly with the LMS tracking system.

The Course Creation Workflow

Here's how courses are built and published:

1. Create Project - Start a new course project with a name and theme
2. Add Pages - Build your course structure by adding content pages
3. Add Content Blocks - Populate pages with text, images, videos, buttons, and interactive elements
4. Build Quizzes - Add assessment pages with questions, feedback, and scoring
5. Preview and Test - Review your course before publishing
6. Export SCORM Package - Generate a downloadable SCORM 2004 .zip file
7. Upload to LMS - Import the SCORM package as a course in Course Management
8. Assign to Users - The course is ready for learners with full tracking enabled

SCORM Package Generation

When you export a course:

• Standard SCORM 2004 - Creates industry-standard e-learning packages
• Complete Package - Includes all content, assets, and tracking configuration
• Portable - Exported .zip file can be used in any SCORM-compliant LMS
• Tracking Enabled - Progress, scores, and completion are automatically tracked
• Resumable - Users can pause and resume where they left off
• Version Control - Each export creates a new version while preserving history

Content Block System

Courses are built using reusable content blocks:

Autosave and Version Management

Your work is protected:

• Automatic Saving - Changes are saved automatically as you work
• Version History - Previous versions are preserved when you export
• Draft Status - Courses remain as drafts until exported
• Publishing Control - You decide when to create the SCORM package
• Edit After Export - You can continue editing and export new versions

How Courses Appear to Learners

Once exported and uploaded to the LMS:

• Courses appear in the training catalog (if visibility allows)
• Users can launch courses from their dashboard
• Progress is tracked automatically (pages viewed, time spent, quiz scores)
• Completion status updates in real-time
• Certificates can be generated upon completion (if configured)
