Export or Import a Course
|
|
*************************
|
|
|
|
Studio has an Import tool and an Export tool that allow you to import and
|
|
export courses.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Export a Course
|
|
***************
|
|
|
|
You can export a course that has been created in Studio. You can export a
|
|
course for use by another instructor, or you can back up your course.
|
|
|
|
|
|
For example, you may create a course in Studio, and then run that course. A
|
|
friend or colleague, including a friend from another institution, may be
|
|
interested in running their own customized version of that course. You can
|
|
export the course that you have created and give it to the other instructor.
|
|
That instructor can then import the course, make any changes that are
|
|
necessary to reflect that instructor's situation, and then release the
|
|
course to students.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Or, you may export your course, and then make changes to your course in
|
|
Studio. If you later want to revert to the earlier version of your course,
|
|
you can import the version that you exported. Be careful if you do this
|
|
while you are running your course, as you could lose your students' work.
|
|
|
|
|
|
When you export your course, Studio creates a **.tar.gz** file that includes
|
|
the following course data:
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Course structure (the order of sections and subsections)
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Individual units
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Individual problems
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. Additional pages
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. Files on the Files & Uploads page
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The exported file does not include the following data:
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Student or user data
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Discussion forum data
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Course settings
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. Certificates
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. Grading information

Import a Course
|
|
***************
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. warning::
|
|
|
|
This feature should be used with caution!
|
|
Importing a new course will delete all course content currently associated
|
|
with your course and replace it with the contents of the uploaded file.
|
|
Importing a course cannot be undone.
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can import courses that have already been created in Studio. These can
|
|
be courses that you or someone else has created and exported.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The file that you import must be a **.tar.gz** file that contains, at a
|
|
minimum, a Course.xml file in a course data directory. The tar.gz file must
|
|
have the same name as the course data directory.
|
|
|
|
|
|
If your course uses legacy layout structures, you may not be able to edit
|
|
the course in Studio, although it will probably appear correctly on Edge. To
|
|
make sure that your course is completely editable, ensure that all of your
|
|
material is embedded in a unit.
|
|
|
|
|
|
To import a course:
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. On the navigation bar, click **Tools**, and then click **Import**.
