Concept: Packaged Content

Workday uses the term packaged content to describe learning content that's compliant with SCORM or AICC file type specifications. Packaged content also includes courses licensed from content vendors, such as Skillsoft. You can create Learning lessons and courses for both desktop and mobile using packaged content.
Since e-learning content can contain many media files, packaged content contains a manifest file or a set of descriptor files that defines the basic functions of the package.

Creating and Uploading

You can:
  • Create packaged content using external applications, such as Adobe Captivate and Articulate Storyline.
  • Import the files directly into Workday Learning lessons (except stand-alone lessons).
When you have a large volume of packaged content, Workday recommends that you use the
Create Media Import Job
task to upload the files before you create Learning lessons or courses. The maximum file size limit for packaged content is 4 GB.

Tracking

Workday tracks the status (Not Started, In Progress, Completed) for each package you launch.
Some packaged content opens in a separate browser window. If your Workday session times out before you complete the packaged content, Workday still saves your progress. When you log back into Workday, Workday directs you back to the Learning page that launched the content.
When you launch packaged content that contains a scoring element or assessment, Workday also tracks summary data (pass/fail, score). You can use Learning reports to view tracking data.
