Import content

Exporting content packages up your content as a single .zip file.

You can choose to import the .zip file into a different Möbius class, or distribute the file to other users for them to import.

TIP: Check out Export content for how to export content from Möbius as a content .zip file.

After the content is imported, it can be modified to suit the needs of the class it is being imported into.

IMPORTANT: If you are importing a Course Module into your class that was already previously imported, the new import of the Course Module will overwrite existing content.

Import content

To import a zip file into your class:

NOTE: To import a Course Module, it must already be saved to your hard drive, a network drive, or an online file storage repository.

  1. Click Content Repository on the Class Homepage.

The content repository menu option is the third option of the instructor main navigation menu.

  1. Click Import in the Content Repository.

The Import button is the second button above the panes, at the top of the Content Repository.

  1. Click Choose File.

In the Import popup dialog, the Choose File button is highlighted.

  1. Navigate to and select the Course Module on your hard drive, a network drive, or an online file storage repository.

The course module zip file on your computer is highlighted.

  1. Click Open.

When uploading the course module zip file from your computer, the Open button is highlighted.

  1. Click Import Content to import the Course Module.

In the Import popup dialog, the Import Content button is highlighted.

NOTE: Each server has a maximum file size setting for imports that is established by your organization's Möbius administrator. If your file import repeatedly times out or if you receive a message informing you that your upload exceeds the server limit, contact your organization's Möbius administrator.

  1. A success message appears that the Course Module was imported. Click View the imported content to view the Course Module within your Content Repository.

In the Import popup window an Import Failed error message appears.

  1. The imported Course Module appears in the Course Modules pane in the Content Repository. The content within the Course Module will automatically distribute itself to the correct panes. Example — Imported questions from a Course Module will be stored in the Questions pane.
