Encyclopedia of Internet Technologies and Applications
Content packages are collections of electronic learning materials assembled in a standard manner so they can be used across different e-learning systems. A common standard for assembling these learning units is the IMS content packaging specification. A content package will contain a manifest file that has in it a metadata section to semantically describe the content, an organizations section that describes the structure of the content, and a resources section that describes the location of files that make up the content package. Included with the manifest will be the resource files themselves. The pieces of a content package are usually distributed as a zip archive.
