Exporting data and content from LMS365

 

Introduction

When creating and managing courses and training plans, you upload and/or create different types of content. When taking courses, learners' data is captured. You may need to get data, files, or other content from LMS365 exported for further use outside of LMS365, or simply to archive outdated content and replace it with new.

LMS365 allows for different ways to export content and data.

In this article, we go through the options for exporting data and content from LMS365.

 

Bulk export of data and content

Bulk export allows you to export all learner data and content in LMS365 with one action. 

You can have your data and content bulk exported and delivered in Excel and JSON formats by either an LMS365 consultant or a certified LMS365 partner.

You may request a bulk export of:

• Courses and training plans created in LMS365, including the training structure and content.
• Separate items: SCORM and AICC packages, quizzes, question pools, images, attachments, documents, files, certificates, videos, and reports.

Export data and content from the LMS365 Admin Center

The LMS365 Admin Center allows for downloading of training content and data in a number of ways.

 

Export of content packages

From the current course catalog, SCORM and AICC packages can be downloaded one by one.

To download a content package, follow the steps below:

1) From the LMS365 Admin Center left-side menu, go to Content > Content Package Storage.

2) From the Content Package Storage panel, find the relevant content packages.

The Access Type needs to be Full Control Access in order for the content package to be available for export. You can use the Access Type filter to only see content packages of the Access Type: Full Control Access.

You can filter the result further by applying the content package type: SCORM, AICC, or All Content Packages.

 

 

3) Select the relevant content package and from the Actions panel, select Download Content Package.

For bulk download of content packages, you can use LMS365 Cloud API.

If you need assistance, please contact an LMS365 consultant or a certified LMS365 partner.
