Getting started (Author)

This guide is for teachers and content authors. To open and use the builder you need editing access to the course — the editing teacher or manager role.

Open the builder

1. Go into the course where you want the lesson to live.

2. Open the course More menu and select Create SCORM.

3. The full-screen builder opens, signed in and scoped to that course.

Caution

Open the builder from inside a real course, not the site front page. Publishing needs a valid course context — starting from the front page will fail at publish time.

Choose a starting point

When you start a new build, you pick where the content comes from:

• Blank canvas — start empty and build from scratch.
• Import a document — upload a .docx, .pptx, or .pdf and the builder segments it into lessons and blocks.
• From an EDZ Rise lesson — reuse an existing lesson (shown only when EDZ Rise is installed).
• From the AI Course Builder — seed an outline with AI (shown only when the AI Course Builder is installed).

The last two options appear only when those features are present on your site. A plain install always offers blank canvas and document import.

The 'New build from…' options

Build, then publish

1. Add and arrange blocks on the canvas (see Authoring lessons). Your work autosaves continuously — you’ll see an “All changes saved” indicator.

2. Select Preview at any time to see exactly what the learner will get — the cover overview, the lesson menu, and the paged reader.

3. When you’re ready, select Publish. The builder creates a SCORM activity in your course.

4. Select Open in course to jump straight to the new activity.

To make changes later, reopen the build and edit it; re-publishing updates the same activity in place. See Publishing to SCORM for the details and limits.
