How to Get Started: LINK Account Admins

  1. Receive your login credentials.
  2. Reset password (if needed).

Troubleshooting

If the downloaded SCORM file will not upload to your LMS:

  • Extract all files from the downloaded .zip file and reupload fully extracted content.
    • Right click the .zip file (it will have a zipper on the file image).
    • Click Extract All.
    • Determine the extracted file location. Click extract.
      • Note – the default for extracted files is to create a new folder with the same name as the original .zip content.

  • Upload the new file to your LMS.
