Summary

In this article we will cover how to export your Coursensu learning designs into your Moodle LMS. This is very handy when wanting to transfer reviewed and approved learning content to the LMS, to create a 'course container' or 'shell' for stakeholders or for content migration between platforms. However you want to move your design content to the LMS our export tool will help you prepare it quickly and easily.

This approach uses the Moodle Restore feature, which requires a .mbz 'backup' file of a Moodle course. This is the most compatible method to follow until Moodle develops a richer API.

During the learning design phase you can select the type of Moodle activity to be created for each content item. At the moment this only supports the 'core' Moodle activities (for example; Courses, Sections, Labels/Page content, Pages, Forums, Quizzes, Assignments, Wikis, H5P, etc).
