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 AICC external course properties map to learning item properties:
| External Course Properties | Learning Item Properties |
|---|---|
| Name |
|
| 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 |
|
| Retired date |
|
Imported properties don't include any expected effort properties, including minimums and maximums.
For xAPI content, the properties are a 1-to-1 mapping with Oracle learning items. For example, the title is the title on both sides and the summary from the provider is the Oracle Learning short description. Here's what we import from the xAPI external content providers:
- Content URL
- Title
- Summary
- Description
- Instruction languages
- Expected effort
- Publisher
- Author
- Instructor
- Status
- Deactivation date
- Cover art URL
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 page. Learning administrators can change these global settings when they're creating or editing a learning item.
