Publishing a Manifest - Manifest Tab

Generate/publishManifestBtn.gif

Generate/publish_ManifestMenu.gif

Use the Toolbar or the Publish menu to bring up a dialog box for creating and customizing a SCORM manifest for the exam. See http://www.adlnet.org for more information on SCORM.

 

This screen is where you create your SCORM version 1.2 manifest. The editor suggests data based on the specification as well as information you have entered elsewhere in the editor. Once you are completed, the manifest file (imsmanifest.xml) is created when you either Publish Exam or Save Exam. You must publish the manifest first, however. All parts of the manifest (such as resources) that are not included in this editor are created automatically by Exam Engine. Look at the screen below as well as the table of elements to learn more. Click on the other tabs to learn about each one.

Screen Element

Description

Identifier

The manifest identifier. It must begin with a letter and not contain spaces. The editor will suggest an identifier in the form of ExamEngine-GUID (generally unique global identifier), but you may choose a different format).

Version

The manifest version.

Schema

The schema that defines the metadata. You would normally leave this as "ADL SCORM."

Schema Version

The version of the schema that defines the metadata. You would normally leave this as "1.2."

Metadata Scheme

The name and version of the specification used to create this metadata instance. You normally leave this as "SCORM v1.2."

Language

Select the primary human language of this resource (exam). This value is propagated to many different areas of the manifest.

Namespaces

The various schema and locations that control the manifest. Do not edit unless you are very well-versed in SCORM. The Schema Identifier is the part before the "=" sign in the XML below. The Namespace then comes immediately after the "=" sign. The Target Namespace refers to the location and corresponding schema name. All the values are concatenated in the "xsi:schemaLocation=" part of the manifest. Add additional namespaces by typing in the "*" row. Delete namespaces by selecting a row and pressing the Delete key.

 

Here is the corresponding XML for the screen shown above:

 

<manifest identifier="ExamEngine-39ad3806-43a7-4c68-877c-1ba88243e716" version="1.0" xmlns="http://www.imsproject.org/xsd/imscp_rootv1p1p2" xmlns:adlcp="http://www.adlnet.org/xsd/adlcp_rootv1p2" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.imsproject.org/xsd/imscp_rootv1p1p2 imscp_rootv1p1p2.xsd http://www.imsglobal.org/xsd/imsmd_rootv1p2p1 imsmd_rootv1p2p1.xsd http://www.adlnet.org/xsd/adlcp_rootv1p2 adlcp_rootv1p2.xsd ">
