Introduction

This is a user's guide about the IMS-LD package of the .LRN platform. It is not a user's manual nor a guide of how to create IMS-LD courses. If you want to know more about the IMS LD standard, we encourage you to read our introduction to IMS LD, or, if you want to know more about it, read the official IMS LD specification.

After reading this guide the user will know how to install the package, how to upload a Unit of Learning (Uol), how to create multiple runs for the UoL, how to create and assign roles to each run, how to assign users to each role, and most important, how to "play" the runs, and how to user the rest of functionalities offered by the package.
