Import Course Content

The Course Import Tool makes it easy to extract course content, assignments, and quizzes from previous semesters and quickly import them into existing courses. It's also a way to import content from other courses in which you are a teacher.

If you want the import to include Outcomes, you will need to import the entire course and not select just certain components. After the import, you can adjust the events and due dates to coordinate with your current semester.

This same tool is used to import course materials from different Learning Management Systems such as Moodle.
