Activities and resources can be imported from any other course that the instructor has edit permission in. This allows an instructor to re-use instead of re-creating one or more activities or resources.
Step-by-step Guide
To import activities and resources:
-
Go to the course in question
-
Go to Course Administration > Course reuse > Import
-
Select the course you wish to import from and click "Continue".
-
You will be presented with the "Import settings" page. Use the check boxes to select the items you’d like to import and click on “Next”.
-
For the most part, the “Include activities and resources” is the only checkbox that you need to enable, but the options may depend on your specific use case.
-
-
Select the activities or other elements you want to include and click on “Next”.
-
Review your selection and click "Perform import" to complete the import. Otherwise, click the cancel or previous buttons.
-
You should see the "Import complete. Click continue to return to the course." message, or an error message indicating that the import process did not take place.
Important Notes
-
This process copies (e.g. duplicates) activities. Modifying the original activity after the fact will not also update the new / imported activity.
-
You need editing rights in the source course to import from it. When importing from a course, the list of courses to import from depends on your editing rights in the source course. If you do not see the course, it’s because you are not an instructor in that course.
-
Importing a course does not import the users in the original course.
