You use the Content and Assessment Hierarchy specification to import or export a content hierarchy comprising learning objects and tests. This option eliminates the need to transfer learning objects and tests separately and then reconstructing the hierarchy. Unlike specifications such as IMS and SCORM that are industry specific, this specification is applicable only to OLM.

Importing a Content Hierarchy

You import a content hierarchy into the application using the Import Content and Assessment Hierarchy specification. During import, the application creates learning objects by reading XML files that conform to the IMS or SCORM specifications. Similarly, it creates test objects by reading XML files that adhere to the IMS QTI specification. These XML files are stored either in a zip or a jar file.

Exporting a Content Hierarchy

The Export Content and Assessment Hierarchy specification exports learning objects and tests that are present together in a content hierarchy. The Export function creates a zip or jar file containing IMS or SCORM compliant XML files for learning objects and QTI compliant XML files for test. Administrators can use the zip or jar file to import the content hierarchy comprising learning objects and tests into another OLM application.
