      Use the attached file moodle_IMS_long_create.xml to load courses to Moodle. You will note that only one course will be created, and that has only the <short> tag completed. The other two fail as they are determined to be incomplete. No <short> tags.
      Delete courses. (note you may need to change the IMS test file, as there is a hash to see if it has been previously loaded)
      Apply the patch IMS_long.patch and repeat the process.
      3 new courses are created using the logic above.

      Description

      The IMS Enterprise currently only supports the use of the <short> tag which is mapped to the Course Full name field of a new course. The ID is mapped to the short name and the ID fields. To allow for flexible naming, this patch checks for the <long> tag and assigns that to the course full name when present. To further assist with compatibility the changes check for the following conditions.

      If <long> && <short> are present, map them to Course full name and short name respectively
      If <long>, but no <short>, map <long> to Course full name, and Map <id> to short name and ID
      If <short>, but no <long>, map <short> to Course full name and Map <id> to short name and ID
      If neither <short> or <long> are specified, the course creation will fail.
