It minimizes manual effort. It saves you time when backing up or migrating your courses. Simply select your desired options and initiate the export. The plugin handles the rest.

Seamless Course Import: Rebuild and Restore

Importing courses allows you to quickly rebuild or restore course content. Find the import option within the plugin's settings or course management area. You'll upload a specifically formatted file containing your course data. This file acts as a blueprint for recreating your course.

The import process analyzes the file. It then reconstructs the course, including lessons, quizzes, and settings. The plugin is designed to handle various content types, ensuring proper placement within the new course. This includes text, images, video, and interactive elements. Settings such as course duration, pricing, and student enrollment options are also restored.

The import function maintains original formatting and structure. The goal is to ensure the rebuilt course closely mirrors the original. Error handling is included to identify potential issues during import. If an import fails, review the error message. Common causes include incorrect file formats or corrupted data within the file. For importing courses, the plugin use the specific file format that was exported.

Bulk Export: Because Time is Money

Managing numerous courses demands efficiency. The bulk export feature saves significant time. Instead of exporting courses individually, select multiple courses. A few clicks initiate the export process. Select the courses you want to export from a list. Initiate the export. The system then packages all selected courses into a single, downloadable file. This file is ready for backup or transfer.

Bulk export is ideal for platform backups. It simplifies migrating courses to another system. It’s beneficial for educators managing extensive libraries. Focus on course content, not repetitive export tasks. Free up your time by streamlining the process. Handle backing up your entire platform by exporting all of your courses at once.
