Hi all,

About existing creating IMS content package tool such as EXE, Xerte, how to reload existing webpage to tools and make a new webpage. So far, The only way solution I knew about this, copy and paste existing pages to tools and create new pages separately. However, I have existing 500 webpages. Obviously building  new pages , name  individual page titles and copy the existing content  will cost too much time and energy. Therefore, instead of using existing tool, I chose write IMS content package myself.

I just wondering how to write IMS content package ourselves? what kinds of rule should I need following? I knew the IMS content package should include XML file and archive zip file. XML file includes metadata , resource and organisation pacts. But how to use those parts and write a xml file? Will those sorts of content package writen by myself work on the Moodle? 

Anyone who knows the answer,please do answer my question. I will really appreciate it.

Cheers
