Dynamic Learning Tutorial 21: Create VLE content packs Creating lesson packs or title packs for your VLE

Entering the Manage DL area

To get access to Manage DL,

you’ll need to log in as a

teacher or teacher admin.

Please note that if your

institution is trialling

Dynamic Learning, and has

not yet identified a User

Manager, you will not be

able to access Manage DL or

create individualised logins.

Tutorial 16 will tell you more

about the User Manager

process.

Assign a lesson from the Manage DL area

Creating a VLE lesson

content pack can also be

done from within the Lesson

Builder, and there’s a

separate tutorial (Tutorial

12) to cover this. But

creating a SCORM 2004-

compliant pack for your VLE

including all the resources

from your title, or all the

pages, can only be done

from the Manage DL area.

Teachers, Teacher Admins

and the User Manager can all

do this.

Create VLE content packs

To create a Resources

content pack, click the top

button on the right.

First select a title from the

top drop down. You’ll see

every title that your

subscribed to.

Then, optionally, select a

section using the second

whether you want to include

all resources or only student

or teacher resources.

Finally, select your VLE .

Exporting the pack

When you have made tyour

selections, the Export

resources pack button will

turn green.

Wait while your VLE pack is

exported.

Depending on size, this may

take some moments.

You’ll be asked to choose

where to save your exported

zip. From here, you can

upload it to your VLE in the

usual way.

If there are any resources that cannot be included...

You’ll get a message if, for

copyright reasons, there are

resources that cannot be

included in your pack.

be done from within the

Lesson Builder.) First select a

folder, using the first

dropdown menu. All folders

that contain any lessons will

be listed. Then select your

lesson using the second

dropdown menu.

Now click the Export lesson

pack... button.

Export your lesson pack

Now wait while the pack is

created. Choose where to

save it, as before. Your

lesson pack is now ready to

upload to your VLE.

Exporting pages

To export pages, click the

bottom button on the Create

VLE content pack screen.

Select the formula for your

pack, as before, and click the

green ‘Export pages pack...’

button. Depending on your

browser and its settings, the

pack will download, or you

will offered the chance to

open or save it.

Uploading to your VLE

This SCORM 2004 pack

creation has been tested

with Kaleidos, Moodle, Frog,

Fronter, Its Learning,

Studywiz and many others.

You should have no

problems uploading to any

VLE.

You can also use the second dropdown to go straight

to a list of available lessons, if you don’t know the

name of the folder in which your lesson was stored.
