Import AICC Course Structures

Course administrators can import a single AICC-conformant course by uploading its four constituent files. You can also import one or more AICC courses by uploading them in a ZIP file.

For each AICC course you want to import, ensure you have the following files:

• An assignable unit (.AU) file
• A course (.CRS) file
• A course structure (.CST) file
• A descriptor (.DES) file

The process for importing multiple AICC courses at once is the same as for SCORM courses. However, when you ZIP an AICC course for inclusion in a batch import, the four AICC files must have the same filename. Some tools and vendors provide extra files, but the LMS does not need them.

After importing an AICC course you can configure it in the Catalog Editor as you would any other learning module.

If the learning module supports AICC data exchange and requires enrollment, you can select AICC Assignable Unit from the Launch interface drop-down list to enter AICC-specific options for data exchange with the learning module.

To import an individual AICC course

1. Go to Manage Center > Learning > Import > Import AICC course structure. The Import AICC course structure page opens.
2. Choose each AICC file and then select the appropriate character encodingcharacter encoding from the Encoding drop-down list.

   The AICC file character encoding depends on the tool used to author the courseware. If you do not know which character encoding to use, select the most likely based on the course language and geographic region. The next page shows the course title, which may include unexpected characters if the encoding is incorrect. 

3. Click Next.
4. To assign the imported course to one or more catalogs, select the Update catalog setting check box, and then click the Assign catalog link to select the catalog(s). 
5. To show the course to learners when they search or browse catalogs, select the Show in catalog check box.
6. Click Import as New Bundle. 
7. Select the course language from the drop-down list.
8. Enter a Module Title to override the default.
9. Click Next to complete the import process.
