3rd-Party Authoring Tools

Introduction

LearnDash and Uncanny Owl allow you to upload courses created in other course authoring tools, such as Articulate, iSpring, Captivate, etc.

Compatible Standards

LearnDash is compatible with xAPI, SCORM 1.2 and SCORM 2004 e-learning data standards.

When possible, it is recommended that courses are exported using xAPI, rather than SCORM.

Export Instructions

Articulate

  1. Navigate to Rise 360 and select the course you wish to export.

  2. In the menu at the top of the course editor, select Publish > LMS.

  3. Under Publish settings,

    1. LMS: xAPI

    2. Tracking: Select either Track using course completion (with a target percent), Track using quiz result (if a quiz is in the course), or Track using Storyline block (if an embedded Storyline block is required within the course).

  4. The Exit Course Link and Hide Cover Page settings are optional, but may be left off.

  5. Finally, select Publish.

The resulting ZIP file can be uploaded to LearnDash using the Tin Canny Uploader.

Replacing 3rd-Party Course Content

After making an update to a course, you must replace the content on your LMS.

  1. In the LMS, navigate to Tin Canny Reporting > Manage Content.

  2. In the table presented, find the course content you wish to replace, and select Replace in the Actions column.

  3. Select to delete either bookmark data or all data. It is recommended to select Delete bookmark (resume) data only.

  4. Follow the instructions provided in the LMS to upload the new course content.
