Import Multiple Content Packages

Course administrators can import multiple new course packages at once by compressing them into a single ZIP file. As each courseware package is itself a ZIP file containing the files comprising the course, you are packaging multiple ZIP files into a single ZIP file.

When importing multiple SCORM, AICC or xAPI courses into Rustici Engine via the Import Content Package feature, a course may be successfully imported even if there are minor issues parsing the imsmanifest file. For example, if files are listed in the manifest but do not exist in the package, the course will import and launch but will also generate a warning. The warnings will be displayed for each applicable course on the import results page.
