eXeLearning in Omeka S

Leer en español

The ExeLearning module for Omeka S lets you add eXeLearning resources (.elpx) as item media, view them embedded in the page and edit them with the eXeLearning editor. It is useful for repositories and collections of learning resources.

Try it before installing

Open the demo in Omeka S Playground (user admin@example.com, password password). It includes a sample item and a public site at /s/demo.

For administrators

The administrator installs the module once on the Omeka S server and it is available on every site of that installation; teachers install nothing. If your schools share one Omeka S, install it there once.

Requirements

• Omeka S 4.0 or later.
• PHP 7.4 or later with the ZIP extension.
• On nginx servers, the extra rules listed in the module README. Nothing is needed with Apache.

Installation

1. Download ExeLearning-X.Y.Z.zip from the latest release.
2. Unzip it into Omeka S's modules/ folder. You must end up with modules/ExeLearning.
3. In the admin panel, open Modules and click Install next to ExeLearning.

Configuration

Click Configure next to the module to set the Viewer Height (px) and the Download formats offered (.elpx, web, SCORM 1.2, IMS, EPUB3). Click Submit to save.

Open styles page lets you upload and enable your own styles.

For teachers

Add a resource to an item

Create or edit an item (Items), go to the Media tab, choose Upload and select the .elpx. Save the item.

View and edit it

Open the media: you will see the eXeLearning preview, with buttons to open it in a new tab or download the .elpx. Click Edit in eXeLearning to change it.

When you are done, click Save to Omeka.

On the public site

The resource appears automatically on the item page of the public site, with buttons to view it full screen or download it.

Who can edit?

The owner of the media and the Omeka S roles that can change any resource (administrators, editors). The administrator decides who has those roles. Visitors only see the content.
