[ARCHIVED] [ARCHIVED] Transferring a multilayer course into Canvas

[GaeryBarbery]

I am an instructor and have a multilayered course and am wanting to transfer this into Canvas. What is the best way to do this?

Do I need to edit the existing course ( which is in another LMS) to make it more flat ( i.e. only a 2 layered course) or is it better to restructure once transferred to Canvas?

What is the best way to label modules ?

Good evening, @GaeryBarbery ...

Which LMS are you transferring content from into Canvas?  There might be a way to import content from your current LMS to Canvas already...depending on which LMS you are using.  There are a few Guides here in the Community website that you might want to take a look at...all located at:

Instructor Guide - Instructure Community (canvaslms.com)

Make sure you are looking at the Guides under the heading "Course Import Tool".  Then, take a look at the Guides that begin, "How do I import content from..."

Do you think any of those Guides will be of help to you?  Keep us posted here in the Community...thanks!
