Import/Export/Copy Course Components
If you have course materials from a previous or reference course, you can use the Import/Export/Copy Components tool to transfer them to your new course.
What is Import/Export/Copy Components?
The Import/Export/Copy Components tool allows you to move, share, and reuse materials between courses, Learning Management Systems, and from content vendors. Pick and choose what material to move, or select it all, when you Import, Export, or Copy. This means that you are not restricted to copying an entire course to be able to reuse a quiz or assignment in another course. Rather, you can select to copy the specific quiz and its associated files to another course. This feature is not only available for quizzes, but other course components such as Content Topics, Assignments, Discussion topics, and more.
Word of caution, unlike OWL Sakai, there is no option to OVERRIDE imported components.
This means that if you import course components with names that already exist in the course, or you import multiple components with the same name, duplicate names appear; they are not overwritten. For example, if your course contains a Discussion Topic called Exam Review and you import a course package that contains a Discussion Topic called Exam Review, your course will contain two topics called Exam Review.
