Import Course Content
Course content from previous offerings can be imported for reuse. The entire course can be imported or just selected parts.
Importing a Whole Course
If something is not appearing correctly in your course, please do not import your course again. This will create a duplicate of everything in your course. First, try adjusting your course section numbers. If that doesn't fix the problem, please contact support.

Importing Specific Items
1. Follow steps 1-9 above.
2. After the proper course has been chosen in step 9, use the checkboxes to mark what kind of material you'd like to import into the course. Include activities and resources is the most common option.
3. Use the checkboxes on the next page to indicate which specific materials you want to import. By default, all the materials are checked. Use the Select All/None options at the top to quickly check or uncheck the boxes. Then choose the individual items to import.
* If you are not able to click on a specific box, look above it for a category header in bold. Check that category header to choose the items underneath it.
4. Click Next.
5. Confirm your choices on the next screen. If they are correct, choose Perform import. You can also choose Previous to go back and choose different items.
6. Continue with steps 8 and 9 above.
