This support article offers guidance on contributing HTML packages to the Learning Hub and the options available to contributors for sharing access to HTML packages via the Electronic Staff Record (ESR).
By enabling the ESR learning object link feature, contributors are widening the reach of HTML content to users accessing via ESR.
Unlike SCORM resources HTML sessions can be played in an ordinary browser. The course interactions will work in the same way but the session won't track and score like a SCORM package

- ESR learning object link. Electronic Staff Record (ESR) users with the Learning Administration User Responsibility Profile (URP) can set up elearning content to play via ESR. Providing a link enables users with that URP to add this resource as a learning object in ESR.

Once generated the link remains the same if changes are made to the resource.

Licensing
When contributing a resource to the Learning Hub it is important that you, as the contributor, understand the licence options available to you. You need to be aware of how your choice of licence affects how learners can interact with, and potentially share, the resource after it is added to the Learning Hub.
Are you allowed to share this resource? If you are, you can choose from four licences. Each licence offers different levels of restrictions on how the resource can be shared and used.

All Rights Reserved This licence allows you, as the creator of the resource you are contributing to the Learning Hub, to reserve all rights capable of being reserved under the relevant applicable laws related to the reuse of the materials included in your resource. However, by sharing your resources on the Learning Hub you are inviting users to access, read, and be educated by the resource you have contributed.
This licence is available to contributors both to preserve the autonomy of those creating and sharing their resources on the Learning Hub, and to offer a licence option that can be applied to resources created where the contributor is not the sole creator of the materials, meaning they do not have the right to use a more open licence (see Creative Commons options above) for their contribution.
