The course Import feature allows a user the ability to directly pull content from any other active course on their site, saving the instructor the time required to recreate this content from scratch.  For this reason, it is a practice you should try to master.

How To Import

1. Navigate to course in which you are wishing to bring content into
2. From the gear menu located at the top right, select Import

gear icon and import

3. Here you will see a list of courses that you can bring the already content over from. If you have taught more than ten courses, you'll likely need to use the search feature to narrow the list of results. Please keep your search terms simple.
search for course
4. You then will be walked through an Import ‘wizard’ to guide you through the Import process
  1. Please choose whether or not to include Activities, Blocks, Filters, and Questions Banks
    Note: You cannot import Quiz activities if you do not select the Question bank at this step in the process.
  2. Select the specific activities/resources you wish to import over.
  3. Confirm the content you are bringing over looks correct in the Review step.
  4. Perform the import.

You'll then see the new content within your course and can move it into the topic/week section of your choosing.

Notes

If you want the gradebook configuration to carry over (categories and applied weights), select all activities during the import, and then delete the ones you don't need afterwards.
