{{Moodle 1.6}}<br />
<br />
IMS is a body which helps define technical standards for various things, including e-learning material. The [http://www.imsglobal.org/content/packaging/ IMS Content Packaging specification] makes it possible to store chunks of material in a standard format which can be re-used in different systems, without having to convert the material into new formats.<br />
<br />
The IMS content package in Moodle 1.6 enables such content packages to be uploaded and included in Moodle courses. There are various options for displaying content in a pop-up window, with a navigation menu or buttons etc. In addition, the resource type supports an optional repository, enabling content packages to be shared between courses.<br />
<br />
==IMS content package repository==<br />
<br />
The IMS content package repository enables access to a repository of IMS and SCORM packages within Moodle. The repository is disabled by default. It may be enabled as follows:<br />
<br />
# Find repository_config.php in ''moodle/mod/resource/type/ims'' and change <code>$CFG->repositoryactivate = false;</code> to <code>$CFG->repositoryactivate = true</code><br />
# Create a folder named ''ims_repository'' in the webroot or somewhere underneath your webroot.<br />
# Change <code>$CFG->repository = "C:/public/www/html/ims_repository";</code> to point to this folder on your file system<br />
# If your ims_repository is not located directly in your webroot, edit <code>$CFG->repositorywebroot = "/ims_repository";</code> to point to the location of your repository.<br />
<br />
Content packages should be extracted to the folder ''ims_repository''.<br />
