To do: Read through this online help documentation before using the procedure to get familiar with system functionality.  Log into SumTotal and read:  Upload Files for Learning Activities

Tip:  The LMS is not a place for managing your course files.  Administrators should save versions of their online courses on their internal agency network for referencing and retrieval.  It is not possible to download a SCORM package from the WSLC.

Tip:  When designing your course, place the publish date or revision date on the title page of the course.  This will help when troubleshooting with learners to confirm which version of the course they are accessing.
