Copy an Old Course to a New Course (Import from Site)

Import from Site allows you to copy an old course to a new course. However, it is very important that you are in the new course when you use Import from Site, otherwise, you will write over your old course. Also, you must select all the tools when using Import from Site, otherwise, links will be broken. 


To copy an old course to a new course, you must be in your NEW Course

  • Login to ACE at http://ace.uindy.edu 
  • Select the Site Info tool
  • Select Import from Site
  • If you have not added content, select I would like to replace my data, otherwise, select I would like to merge my data (doing so will append old course materials to your new course materials). Note: If you intend to use the Lessons template that was pre-loaded in your course, select merge my data. After the site has imported you will need to copy content into the Lessons template in the new site. 
  • Select your old course
  • Select Continue at the bottom of the screen
  • Select the check box to the left of your course name (this will select all the tools)
  • Select Finish at the bottom of the screen
  • You will receive an email when the site import is complete
