How do I export content from the Lessons tool?

The Lessons tool allows instructors to export course content in IMS Common Cartridge format, a format that is compatible with other learning management systems. If your Lessons content contains links to site activities (e.g. items in Assignments, Forums, or Tests & Quizzes) or items in Resources (e.g. files, URL links) those items will also be exported in the content package.

Note: Pages added by students cannot be exported in the content package.

Go to Lessons.

Select the Title of the page (e.g., Lessons, Activities, Week: 1) from the tool menu in your site.

Select More Tools.

Select Export CC.
