Build courses

Guides for structuring and authoring LXPack content after you have the CLI installed.

Authoring pipeline

Every module follows the same loop:

1. Edit course.yaml, lessons/, assessments/, and optional interactions/
2. lxpack validate
3. lxpack preview for review
4. lxpack build --target … when ready for the LMS

Validate course (run from course folder)

lxpack validate

Validate for xAPI/cmi5 export

lxpack validate --target xapi

Start local preview server

lxpack preview

Build SCORM 1.2 package (most LMS)

lxpack build --target scorm12

Build SCORM 2004 package

lxpack build --target scorm2004

Build xAPI package

lxpack build --target xapi

Build cmi5 package

lxpack build --target cmi5

Typical workflow after editing files

lxpack validate
lxpack preview
lxpack build --target scorm12
