Importing course materials and activities from one TC course to another

• Open the TC course you wish to import items into.
• In the main menu on top, click More > Course reuse.

• You will see a list of all the courses where you have editing rights. In the Search field, select the course you want to import data from. Click on Continue.

• In the import settings, select the general items you want to import.
• You can later on select whether you want to include and exclude individual items.

• Click on Next. On the following page, you can now confirm and review the items you are about to import.

• Click on Perform import. If everything has worked, a confirmation message appears.
• Click on Continue. You will now see your TC course page with the imported content.

An overview of the elements that can be imported and a short description:

• Activities and resources: Quizzes, Assignments etc., to be specified later
  Tip: When you import a Quiz, the questions in the question bank will also be imported.
• Blocks: e.g. TubeDrop - not relevant
  Important: To create TUbeDrop, please continue to use the TUbe-Services form, not the import, because the links and access rights have to be adjusted by the support team. 
• Files: documents uploaded by you, to be specified later
• Filters: not relevant
• Calendar events
• Question bank: imported in its entirety
• Groups and groupings: does not include participants
• Custom fields: not relevant
• Content bank content: e.g. H5P items, imported in its entirety

Tip: Import the General section only if you need the forum or the description.

Known issues:

• Imported activities/files are merged with sections in the existing course instead of being added as new sections at the bottom. This is the case if the sections have identical titles or if the sections in the originating and new course are in the same position.
• If the originating course has more sections than the target course and an activity is added from a lower section, empty sections are created in the target course.

Possible solutions:

• Rename the sections in advance to make sure that the files/items are imported exactly where you wish: either in the same sections (= same section title as is the originating course) or in another one.
• Before importing, create some empty sections at the top or in a suitable place where the import items will then go.
• Move the imported files to the correct section after the import.
