1. Overview
Using the import feature to reuse content
"Import" is a feature for adding content from other courses you taught in the previous year with a teacher role to the course currently in use. By importing, you can easily reuse content from the previous year's course.
Content that can be imported includes topics and their resources as well as activities
A Topics
Register activities and resources such as assignments, quizzes, etc. on the course home screen, in areas grouped by class times, units, etc.
B Resources/activities
Refers to materials, assignments, videos, quizzes, etc. included in the course.
Student information and activity details cannot be imported.
Registered student information and activity details (assignment files submitted, quiz results, forum posts and uploaded files, Wiki edits, etc.) cannot be imported.
2. How to import
Importing is done in a new course to which you want to import topics from another course.
It is recommended to import at the start of a new year when you have not yet created any content for the course.
1. Open the import screen
Method 1: Opening from the block drawer
Open the block drawer and select "Import".
Method 2: Opening from course navigation
(1) Click "More" from the course navigation at the top of the screen.
(2) Click "Course reuse" in the menu that is displayed.
(3) Click the box on the screen to display the operation menu, and then click "Import".
2. Find a course to import data from
The "Find a course to import data from" screen is displayed.
Courses for which you are registered as a faculty member will be displayed in the list. If the course you need is not displayed, you can search for it using the "Search" field.
When you find the course you wish to import data from, click the "○" at the top, then click the "Continue" button.
3. Select the type of items to import
The "Import settings" screen will be displayed.
Select the type of items to import.
Basic items are selected by default. If you have not changed permissions, blocks, or filters in previous years' courses, you do not need to make any changes.
Click "Next".
4. Select the items to import
A list of topics, activities and resources from the source course will be displayed.
All topics, activities, and resources from the source course will be shown selected. Uncheck any items that you do not need.
Uncheck "General" and "Announcements".
Click "Next".
5. Confirm the items to import and execute the import process.
The import settings specified in 2, 3, and 4 will be displayed. Check the contents, and if there are no errors, click "Execute import" to import.
If any of the settings are incorrect, click "Previous" to correct them.
Make sure that the imported items are added to the new course. Even if resources and activities are placed in the topics of the imported course, they will not be overwritten or disappear.
3. If the new course to which I am importing already has topics that have been edited, how will assignments from previous years' courses be imported?
▷In this case, topic titles and summary text entered in the new course will remain unchanged and the original content in the new course will also remain (it will not be overwritten nor appended). On the other hand, the activities and resources from the import source will be added to the new course for assignments and resources, and both the original content in the new course and the content added by the import source will be displayed.
Importing topics
The topics of the previous year's course from which you are importing will be imported into the new course topic whose position in the display corresponds to that of the previous year's course.
Importing the previous year's course into the current year's course
A. If you have changed the name of the first topic to "Guidance" in the current year's course, the topic name in the previous year's course will not be copied and will remain the same after import.
B. The "Guidance materials" posted in the current year's course will not be overwritten after import.
C. Resources and activities from the previous year's course will be added to the current year's course after import.
D. The second topic in the current year's course will be copied from the previous year's topic name since the topic name and outline have not been changed.
E. The previous year's resources/activities will be added to the second topic of the current year's course.
