Course Content

Between Canvas courses

Each academic year (or each time a course is taught) a course gets a new course web in Canvas. The teacher can import course content from a previous course into the new course.

Course Files from Ugla

To move course files from Ugla to Canvas.

Open your course in Ugla (the course containing the files) and go to All operations, on the right.
Under Items, click Download all files. A zip file containing all files and folders is downloaded.
Open your new course in Canvas (the course that is to receive the files).
Click Files on the left and the Upload button in the top right corner.
Select the zip file you downloaded from Ugla and click Open.
Click Expand It to unzip the zip file.

Moodle Courses

Moodle courses from autumn 2019 and spring 2020 have been imported into Canvas. This means the Moodle courses are now Canvas courses. The teacher can use the tutorials above to import content from those courses into his new course.

If you have a Moodle course from a previous year, that you need to import into Canvas, please contact help@hi.is or check out the tutorial below.
