If you want to share your course either in its entirety or parts (such as rubrics only) with your colleague, you will have to perform a bit of “import and export.”\u00a0 Here is how to do this if you, say, Professor A, want to share your course with Professor B.<\/p>\n

Please note that we at the Adams Center can also do it on your behalf, provided that Professor B has requested a course (tutorial<\/a>) to copy the content into and that you gave us the URL of the course to copy from. There might be many courses in past semesters and we have to make sure we copy the right one.<\/p>\n

Step 1: Export the course
\n<\/strong>Professor A exports the original course.\u00a0 Go to course “settings,” find “export course content” and click on it.\u00a0 Choose “course” to export, and you will then see a progress bar showing the course exporting is in progress.\u00a0 When it is done, click on “new export,” download it.\u00a0 Leave it as it is, do not unzip it.\u00a0 It should be a “imscc” file.<\/p>\n

Step 2: Share the file<\/strong><\/p>\n

Professor A now has the course file on the computer, share it with your colleague via Email, Google Drive or Thumb Drive.\u00a0 Professor B accepts the file, but again, do not try to unzip it.<\/p>\n

Step 3: Import the file<\/strong><\/p>\n

Professor B now has the course package, he or she will have to import it. He or she should first request a course in MyACU to be able to have a place to import into.\u00a0 For instructions on requesting a course, check here.<\/a> Because you will import another course, when requesting a course, just request a blank course<\/span>. Do not choose template or course copy when you do this in MyACU.<\/p>\n

Then follow these substeps:<\/p>\n
