Packing Up and Moving Your Course

February 21, 2025

Dear Faculty,

As we continue our transition from Moodle to ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø Canvas, it’s time to move from decluttering to packing up and moving your course materials. Think of this stage as carefully packing your belongings for a move to ensure nothing is left behind and everything is organized for easy unpacking.

Packing Up and Moving Your Course:

  1. Download the Packing Up Your Moodle ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø Course Checklist: Just like a moving checklist helps you keep track of all your items, the will ensure you don’t miss any crucial steps.
  2. Move all Instructor Videos in Moodle to Panopto: Videos will quickly consume Canvas’s limited storage space. By hosting and managing your videos in , you free up storage space in your course.
  3. Create and download a backup of your Moodle ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø course: Review .
    1. If you have a large question bank (100+), use two Moodle ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø backups.
      1. Course Content: Start by creating a backup of your main course content.
      2. Quizzes and Question Bank: Take time to in Moodle so you only import the questions you need.
  4. Import Course Content: The Moodle backup file will import directly into Canvas.
    1. If you created a course content and a quizzes and question bank backups separately:
      1. first.
      2. Import the quizzes and question bank backup second.
