Based on the outcomes of the Course Entry Forms, the top rated courses in each Global Giveback 3 category
(General Learning, Mobile Learning, Field-Generated Content, and Simulations/Games) will be submitted to a
panel of judges comprised of eLearning experts. The judges, in turn, will select the winners who will be recognized
at the eLearning Guild’s Learning Solutions Conference in March 2012.
STEP 2: UPLOADING A COURSE TO THE GLOBAL GIVEBACK 3 SHOWCASE
In order to upload your course, your course needs to be saved in SCORM 1.2 format for deployment on a
learning management system. Please consult your course design team to obtain a zip file containing the
course in SCORM 1.2 format.
Please keep in mind that reporting and tracking criteria for your course must be set within the course
authoring environment. Otherwise, the learning management system will not be able to mark students as
completing the course nor record the grade obtained. Also keep in mind that the IntraLearn LMS only
accepts the status of Completed/Incomplete and not Passed/Incomplete, Passed/Failed, or
Completed/Failed.
One you have obtained the SCORM 1.2 course (as a zip file) from your course design team, complete the
following steps to upload the course to the Global Giveback Showcase portal:
