Create export file

ILIAS allows you to create export files for most objects. This way, you can download your information to use it on another ILIAS installation, for example. The procedure is very similar for many objects, which is why it is described in general terms in this manual.

You want to export selected objects in a file.

Object-dependent:

  1. Select the desired type from the drop-down menu below the tab bar.
    Note: Not all objects allow a selection of the type. Here you will find an overview of the different export formats.
  2. Click on the Create export file button.
    Note: Depending on the object, the text of this button may differ slightly.
  3. ILIAS reports the successful creation of the export file.
  4. You can now download the file. To do so, follow [could not resolve link target: il_6127_pg_5692] .

Overview of the different export formats

Depending on the object, various export formats are available in ILIAS. If necessary, these can be selected in the selection menu under Type.

  • Export as XML: Use this export format to transfer an object from one ILIAS installation to another.
  • Export as QTI XML: Use this export format to transfer a test to another learning platform (ILIAS or other).
  • Export as HTML: This export format makes an object available to learners offline.
  • Export as HTML, Review Mode: Use this export format to enable editorial revisions on paper.
  • Export as Microsoft Excel: Use this export format to process data in a spreadsheet program further.
  • Export as SCORM 1.2: This older, stable version of the SCORM standard does not include sequencing rules.
  • Export as SCORM 2004: This version of the SCORM standard contains all sequencing data.
  • Export as SCORM 2004 4th Edition: Latest version of the SCORM standard.

Note: Not all export formats are available for every object. Sometimes the export is only possible in one format. In this case, ILIAS does not show a selection menu.
