To add a new module select the Manage Modules link from the Manage Courses section of the left navigation menu. On the manage modules page select the Add Module button located at the top of the list of existing modules.
The Add Module page will load which will allow you to specify the following information about your module.
- Module Types:

- Module Identifier: The module identifier is a value that is only displayed to site administrators. The module identifier is shown next to the course title in key places to help administrators distinguish one module from another. This is especially helpful if some of your modules share similar names.
- Launch File/Upload: Clicking Upload will allow you to upload your zipped SCORM package directly from your computer. Either drag/drop your zip file to the drag and drop area, or click the Browse button to browse your computer for the zip file.
