Importing and Exporting Content¶

The Web Teaching Environment allows you to export and import modules, parts, and pages. You can use this functionality to create backups of your teaching content, but also to copy content from one module / part to another.

When you export a module the exporter will ensure that any cross-references that refer from one part or page to another part or page in the same module, will be maintained correctly when re-importing (for parts this only applies to cross-references between pages of the part). Any cross-references to other modules, parts, or pages will be replaces with an “external cross-reference” marker.

Export¶

To export a module, part, or page move your mouse over the icon, and then select the Download item. This will generate a ZIP file that you can store locally and that can later be imported again.

Import¶

How to import a module, part, or page depends on what you are trying to import:

To import a module, go to the list of modules, move your mouse over the icon, and select the Import Module item.
To import a part, go to the module that you wish to import the part into, move your mouse over the icon, and select the Import item.
To import a page, go to the part that you wish to import the page into, move your mouse over the icon, and select the Import item.

This opens the import page. Use the “Browse” button to select the ZIP file to import and then click on the Import button to start the import. Click on the Don’t Import button to cancel importing content.
