Course imports are not working this AM?
I can't import a test from one site to another because the course from which I am importing is making zip files not imscc.
What gives?
Solved! Go to Solution.
IMSCC files from Canvas are ZIP files with a different extension. You can rename a .imscc to .zip or vice-versa. I did this just last night when I needed to check inside an IMSCC file but my system only understood ZIP files.
However, that should not be necessary for the normal import process. The course import will accept .zip, .imscc, .mbz, or .xml file extensions.
