As you create new content in your development course or courses during a semester you will want to add that content to the corresponding course semester-based shell. To add the new content to your course shell you will need to do a partial import from the development course to the course shell.
1. Once logged into Moodle navigate to the course shell to have the new content and select Import from the Administration block.
2. From the drop down list next to "Courses I have taught" select the name of the development course to use for the source of the import.
3. You will see a list of the resources and activities associated with the development course that can be imported.
4. It is important to uncheck all the resources or activities that are NOT to be included in this import. The simplest way to do that is to select the None button on the left hand side of the Import course data screen as shown above by the red arrow. After everything is deselected then go back to the list and check only those items you want to import.
Please Note: Care needs to be taken when importing content to a course shell more than once. If you do not uncheck items that have been previously imported they will be imported again causing duplication. Removing any duplication is done manually one item at a time.
5. Next you will see a detailed summary of the content to be imported. Review the list and select the Continue button.
6. A list of the files that are being exported during the import process are presented. At the end you should see information letting you know the files have been exported successfully and that the import can continue. If there are no errors select the Continue button.
7. A list of files imported is presented. At the bottom of the list the process will indicate if the import was successful. If there are no errors select the Continue button.
8. The process returns you to the course homepage where you should see your new content. In this example the PowerPoint link for Hardware Needs Software has now been added to the course shell.
