Creating CP Learning Content
This chapter explains course authors how to create Content Packagings. Additionally, you will find information
on how to embed your CPs in courses and explains the features of the CP editor.
General Information
Content Packaging (CP) is self-contained learning content in a standardized e-learning format, e.g. an online
module of your subject. For further information please see the section "CP Learning Content" in the chapter
"Learning resources." When creating your learning content as CP you can use it not only within OLAT but in
other learning platforms that support this CP format as well.
CPs in OLAT are usually embedded in a course. It is possible to use the same CP in several courses. For
example, you can use an introductory module not only within a course for beginners but also as starting point
in a more advanced course. If you have not created any courses yet you will get some guidance in the chapter
"Creating courses" before creating your CP by means of the following instruction.
If you want to create large learning contents we recommend using eLML.
In Five Steps to Your Content Package
