| 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. | | IMS is a body which helps define technical standards for various things, including e-learning material.

| The IMS content package repository enables access to a repository of IMS and SCORM packages within Moodle.

|
| Using the repository will save disk space (and any corresponding backup resources if you copy the filesystem as part of your backup strategy) compared to uploading content packages directly into a course. The repository only needs an unzipped copy of the package, whereas within a course there will be the unzipped copy, plus two zipped copies just taking up space.

| ===Using the repository===
| |
| | |
| The repository is disabled by default. It may be enabled as follows:
| |
| | |
| # Find repository_config.php in ''moodle/mod/resource/type/ims'' and change <code>$CFG->repositoryactivate = false;</code> to <code>$CFG->repositoryactivate = true</code>
| |
| # Create a folder named ''ims_repository'' in the webroot or somewhere underneath your webroot.
| |
| # Change <code>$CFG->repository = "C:/public/www/html/ims_repository";</code> to point to this folder on your file system
| |
| # If your ims_repository is not located directly in your webroot, edit <code>$CFG->repositorywebroot = "/ims_repository";</code> to point to the location of your repository.
| |
| | |
| Content packages should be extracted to the folder ''ims_repository''.
| |
| | |
| To use a repository package in a course:
| |
| # Create/edit an IMS CP resource.
| |
| # Click the "Browse repository" button, opening a window listing the packages in ''ims_repository''. If you can't see your content package, check it's in the right directory and has been unzipped.
| |
| # Find your package in the list and click Deploy, and you get a chance to preview the resource. Close the window.
| |
| # Click the "Browse repository" button again, and then and Choose the package.
| |
| # Save your IMS CP resource.
| |
| | |
| To enable the use of the repository from SCORM activities, the configuration strings mentioned above must be inserted in config.php file.
