To fully support this important work join the non-profit Common Cartridge & Learning Tools Interoperability Alliance

What is Common Cartridge?
Common Cartridge is the first of three major standards that comprise a new generation of Digital Learning Services standards to support a new generation of learning technology. These are:

Organized and distributed digital learning content (Common Cartridge - CC)

Applications, systems, and mash-ups (Learning Tools Interoperability - LTI)

Learner information: privileges and outcomes (Learning Information Services - LIS)

 
Cartridge:   Browse to begin validation.
 
Select a Profile:   CC v1.0    CC v1.1 (default)   CC v1.2          

 

IMS Common Cartridge Test System

COMMON CARTRIDGE v1.0 and COMMON CARTRIDGE v1.1

This test system is made available free-of-charge so that you can perform your own testing of cartridges for conformance with the IMS Common Cartridge v1.0 and/or v1.1 specification by choosing the appropriate test from the buttons above to test against the correct profile.. Join the Common Cartridge Alliance to receive support using the Common Cartridge Validator Forum. Conformance Membership in the Common Cartridge Alliance is the only way to achieve official conformance to the Common Cartridge (CC) standard. For directions on how to apply for conformance, visit:

How to use the validator

VIA WEB UI, SOAP WEB SERVICE OR COMMAND LINE

Currently the validator can validate an imsmanifest.xml file or an entire cartridge. The validation options are: Validate by URI (provide a URI to an ims manifest file or cartridge), Direct Input (copy and paste the contents of an ims manifest file into the field), Upload Manifest (upload an ims manifest file to be validated) or Upload Cartridge (upload an entire common cartridge to be validated). There is also a SOAP Webservice and a HTTP+POX Service. They can both take direct input or one or more URLs separated by commas or a Base64 encoded bytes array of a cartridge. You may optionally provide direct input or a URL to an XSL file as a parameter. Doing so will style the results returned from the service. You may also specify a profile version. The parameters in order are: source, xsl, profile.
