Speaking of contents...

Contents are videos, pictures, presentations, text documents, among others, that can be used in training sessions and classes.

The content may be:

public: a public content is available to be used in trainings and classes for all users;
private: private content is available only to the user who registered.

The types of content that can be registered are:

image (with the extensions gif, jpeg, bmp, jpg, among others);
video (with the extensions wmv, avi, flv, mp4, among others);
file (with the extension txt, pdf, Microsoft Office extensions, among others);
SCORM 1.2;
SCORM created on the Elucidat tool when there is active integration between it and the platform. More details are available in Integration with Elucidat.

SCORM 1.2 refers to a compressed file that should contain an XML file with the name "imsmanifest.xml" called "manifest" file in its root. The file "manifest" contains all necessary information for the content presentation. The manifest divides the training or the content in one or more SCORMs.

The SCORMs can be combined in a tree structure that represents the content or training, known as activity tree. The "manifest" contains a structure, in XML, representative of the activity tree, as well as information on how to launch each SCORM and, optionally, metadata that describe the training or contents and its parts.

The registration of contents is done by the users who have permissions to manage contents, that is, users that either have permission to create change, remove, or view, or users that have full permission.

The actions related to the management of contents are:

create/change content: with this type of permission, it is possible to register and edit personal content and content defined as public;
manage all content: the user with permission can create and edit public or private content of other users;
remove content: the user who owns this kind of permission can remove contents that are not in use;
view content: having this permission, the user can only view existing content and cannot perform any action on them.
