Course Architect

Build and edit LMS courses outside the LMS.

Course Architect is a toolkit for instructional designers. Generate courses from a form, share courses with anyone, and edit courses as a document — all by way of the IMS Common Cartridge format your LMS already speaks.

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.
