What's a .imscc?
IMS Common Cartridge is a cross-LMS interchange format — basically a zip file with manifest, pages, assignments, and discussions. Canvas, Blackboard, D2L, Moodle, and Schoology all import and export it.
Why a separate tool?
LMS UIs are great at delivering courses, but death-by-clicks at building and editing them. Course Architect is where the work actually happens. Files never leave your browser.
