This feature is used within Course Designer to create an offline package as a .zip file for a course that will run outside of the LMS. It shows the tree structure and allows a user to launch and view a course. Since it is outside of the LMS, there are no tracking capabilities.

To create the offline package within Course Designer:

1. Select the desired course or activity. You may assign offline package requirements at the course level or at the activity level.
If the requirements are the same for all (or the majority) of activities in the course, select the course and then click the Publish tab.
If the requirements must be customized for individual activities, select the activity, then click the Publish tab.
2. Select the desired Interface for the course or activity.
3. Select the desired Glossary for the course or activity.
4. Select Offline for the package.
5. Click the Include Alternate Language checkbox, if required. Note: Multilingual Supports must be enabled in Project Preferences for this checkbox to display.
6. Click the Include Content Viewer checkbox to include the content viewer, if required.
7. Click the Include screens with Tags checkbox, choose the tags from the Select Tags window, and then click the Submit button (if required).
8. Click the Exclude screens with Tags checkbox, choose the tags from the Select Tags window, and then click the Submit button (if required).
9. Click the Create button.
