Exporting eXe tutorials

Once you’ve created your tutorial, here’s how you export it from eXe. From the menus in eXe, select
  • File > Export > SCORM 1.2
Name the file and save it in a place that’s right for you. It will be a zip file, with a filename that ends .zip.

As the eLAT project progresses, I will be developing an introductory set of guidelines that focus on designing effective e-learning tutorials – so more help will come in time. In the meantime, do contact me for help on e-learning@bath.ac.uk or +44 (0)1225 383864.
