How External Course Properties Map to Oracle Learning Course Properties

When you import an external course, the process creates a corresponding HACP (HTTP-based AICC/CMI Protocol) content resource, course, self-paced offering, and offering activity. These objects are pointers to the external content hosted in the provider's catalog.

Here's how the imported external course properties map to learning item properties:

External Course Properties	Learning Item Properties
Name	Content resource title Course title Offering title Offering activity title
Description	Content resource description Course description Offering description Offering activity description
Thumbnail image	Course branding image We don't import brand images from BizLibrary because it sends the image URLs encoded in Base64 format, which we don't support.
Language	Offering language
Provider name	Content resource author
Import date	Content resource start date Course publish start date Offering publish start date
Retired date	Content resource end date Course publish end date Offering publish end date

Imported properties don't include any expected effort properties, including minimums and maximums.

The import learning content process uses the learning setting for recorded attempts when it creates the HACP content resources. It also uses the applicable global learning settings when it creates the courses and offerings. To review and configure the global settings, use the Configure Catalog Defaults task on the My Client Groups > Learning page. Learning administrators can change these global settings when they're creating or editing a learning item.
