Student activity data comprises assignment submissions, grades, attendance records, and discussion posts. Select &#8220;Yes&#8221; if you wish to include student enrollment information and activity data. Choose &#8220;No&#8221; if you only want to copy the content without any student enrollment or activity data.<\/p>\n<p>When the export or archive package is ready, a ZIP file will be available. Click on the file name to download the package to your computer. Both export and archive packages are downloaded as compressed ZIP files, and they should be imported or restored in the same format. Please do not unzip the package or delete any files from it, as this will prevent the contents from being imported correctly.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Import Course Packages<\/h3>\n<p>You have the option to import a course package from a prior course or one offered by another instructor. During the import process, all content is transferred collectively, meaning the entire course package is imported simultaneously. This procedure is applicable to organizations as well.<\/p>\n<p>When you export and subsequently import a course, a column for attendance is automatically generated in the gradebook. However, this column does not contain any attendance information and cannot be removed.<\/p>\n<p>To import content, navigate to the Course Content page and access the menu above the content list. Select Import Content &gt; Import Course Content and choose the course package (ZIP or IMSCC file) from your device. All content is added to the end of the content list, excluding student enrollments, grades, and discussion data.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, you can import files from cloud storage or include items from the Content Collection.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Copy Content from Courses<\/h3>\n<p>To include content in your course, begin by going to the Course Content page of the target course.

To find Organizations, click on the &#8220;<strong>Organizations<\/strong>&#8221; tab.<\/p>\n<p>To initiate a complete course copy, mark the box next to the course you wish to copy. This action will transfer all the content from the selected course to your current one without deleting any existing materials.<\/p>\n<p>When you carry out a full course copy, all settings\u2014including due dates, visibility statuses, and release conditions\u2014will remain intact. However, course links within learning modules that have enforced sequencing cannot be copied as this would permit navigation outside of the required sequence.
