Add Online Content to Your Oracle Learning Resources

To use SCORM, HACP, or AICC content in learning activities, you upload the content as learning catalog resources. Then you configure basic, advanced, and related materials properties. The maximum supported file size is 1GB.

Before you start

  • Review the Oracle Learning eLearning playback guidelines to see known constraints and best practices for content authors and learning administrators.
  • Make sure that the SCORM or AICC content is in the XML format and packaged in a single .zip file format.
  • Make sure that the manifest file is at the root level and not in another folder.
  • Make sure that the structure name doesn't include any spaces.

SCORM content needs to comply with the SCORM 1.2 or SCORM 2004 (Edition 2 and Edition 3) standards. AICC content needs to comply with the AICC Level 1 Version 2.2 or 4.0 standards.

The following steps cover how to add individual online content files. You can also use the Learning REST service to load online content in bulk.

Here's what to do

  1. Upload the online content.
    1. On the My Client Groups > Learning page, click Content.
    2. On the Content page, Add menu, select Add Online Content.
    3. In the Add Online Content page, complete the required information add the .zip file.
    4. Click Submit.

    You can't download content resources from Oracle Learning. We recommend that you keep copies of your source files elsewhere so that you can make changes as the need arises.

  2. Configure the basic, advanced, and related materials properties of the online content you just added.
    1. On the Content page, search or filter for the newly added online content. To see newly added content that might not have finished processing, and thus isn't active yet, select the Currently Being Processed status filter.
    2. Click the content title.
    3. On the content details page, expand and review the sections and make edits, as appropriate.

      • By default, the import used the file name as the content title. You can override the title, as appropriate.
      • Content with an Inactive status or future start date isn't available for selection when you create learning activities.
      • Make sure that the recorded attempts and mastery score properties are appropriate for the intended learners. The online content needs to get scored for you to see the mastery score properties.

        • If you don't let learning administrators view learner scores, they see only that the learner passed or failed the assessment. It works the same if you don't let learners view their scores.
        • To keep learners from sharing their correct answers with other learners, you might not want to let them from review their recorded attempt.
    4. Specify how to handle completion when learners close content before they reach the end.

      • When you use the lesson status, if the content sends a lesson status of pass or fail, Oracle Learning doesn't assess the score. Instead Learning uses the instruction sent by the content. If the content sends a completed lesson status, Learning decides if the learner passed or failed by comparing the actual score to the mastery score. In both cases, the content sends a lesson status.
      • When you use the learner's score, Oracle Learning doesn't rely on the content sending a lesson status. Instead it assumes that when the player closes, the lesson status is Completed. And it decides if the learner passed or failed by comparing their actual score to the mastery score.
    5. Optionally see the content from a learner perspective. On the Actions menu, select Preview.

    Background processing of the uploaded content can take some time. There might be a delay between when you add online content and learners can launch it. After the processing finishes, any description text in the manifest file gets added to the content resource description.
