We have a file created by someone else, in an older version of AW. (We are
looking at it in AW 7.) Originally, the course was distributed on CD-ROM and
could also be loaded onto a LAN. We want to publish it for use on an LMS, and
it needs to be SCORM compatible. When I try and publish using the HTML LMS KO
template, I get the files in a Published Files\Web folder, not a zip file. The
original piece has a KO (Find CD Drive Knowledge Object), but not the "the
Learning Management System Knowledge Objects (LMS KO) from AEC Consulting"
mentioned in the Publishing dialog box.

Our knowledge of AW is not very strong.

So, the question is: should a piece published for SCORM be packaged in a .zip
file? And do we need to figure out how to include an LMS KO to accomplish this?

Thanks.

Yes.

Look at commands>LMS

The first two options are what you care about initially. Open the *second*
one, Authorware Learning Object Metadata Editor. There's a Help link in the
window that opens.

Once you've worked your way through that, open the first link Authorware
Learning Object Content Packager. Point it to the folder where you created
the xml metadata file. This will now help you create the zip file you asked
about. Again, there is a Help link.
