Inserting Published Simulations And Course Content – uPerform On-Premise Manuals

You can insert a published uPerform simulation via a simulation stencil. These stencils are accessible when creating a new course or when inserting a new page into an existing course.

NOTE:

A course treats an inserted published uPerform simulation as a single page. A course will appear as a single object to an LMS. The LMS will not recognize the simulation as a standalone object.

You can insert course content via the Insert menu. This option is available when inserting objects into an existing course. You can select only the pages you want to include in your course, decreasing the amount of time spent editing.

Inserting Published Simulations

Create or open a course.
Select Insert > Page, Lesson, or Assessment.
Select a simulation stencil.
Enter a name in the Name field.
Click OK.

NOTE:

Click Update Simulations to insert an updated simulation. For information on updating simulations, refer to Inserting Updated Simulations.
Click Edit Simulation Properties.

Perform one of the following options:

NOTE:

If your simulation contains TTS audio, the MS Speech Platform and any applicable voices must be installed on your local computer. The simulation must then be reinserted back into the course.

If You Want To	Then
Insert a new simulation	Select Simulation from the Insert drop-down list. Click .... Select the root folder containing all of the elements for the published simulation. Click OK.
Insert a simulation from your local computer	Select Local from the Insert drop-down list. Select a simulation from the Source file window. NOTE: The local source directory is by default the same location as the course file. To change the local source file directory, select Manage > Embedded Simulations from the menu.
Insert a simulation from the Server	Select From Server from the Insert drop-down list. Select a project from the drop-down list. Select a simulation from the Source file window. NOTE: This option is not availabe in uPerform Express.
Use an available simulation	Select a simulation from the Available Simulations window. NOTE: This window lists all simulations that have been inserted into the course.

Complete the following:

Field	Description
Auto Playback Tutorial	Select the checkbox to enable this playback option in a published course.
Standard Tutorial	Select the checkbox to enable this playback option in a published course.
Self Test Tutorial	Select the checkbox to enable this playback option in a published course.
Assessment Tutorial	Select the checkbox to enable this playback option in a published course.

Check the Localized checkbox to indicate that the simulation should be localized.
Click Insert.

Inserting Updated Simulations

Create or open a course.
Select Insert > Page, Lesson, or Assessment.
Select a simulation stencil.
Enter a name in the Name field.
Click OK.
Click Update Simulations.
Select the updated simulation from the list. The Update button will only be available if the simulation has been revised since it was last inserted or updated.

NOTE:

Simulations that have the source simulation on the Server will not be updated unless connected to the Server.
Click OK.

NOTE:

If any errors occur during the process, information will be written to the log file and a message will be displayed at the end of the process.

Inserting Content from Existing Courses

NOTE:

A caution icon will display in the outline view on a page for which content has not been filled out completely and on the Assessment section if there are no pages inserted into the assessment.

Create or open a course.
Select Insert > From Course.
Browse to the location of the existing course, select the .ulc file, and click Open.
In the Page area, expand the tree view to locate the page(s) you want to import.

NOTE:

A preview of the page is displayed to the right of the tree view. You can import more than one page at a time. Each page will be inserted as a new page within the course.
Select the page(s) you want to import.
Click OK.

NOTE:

You can edit the course using the procedures described in Editing and Formatting: Basics and Editing and Formatting: Courses.
