Time for action — importing the attendance template to other courses

For this example, we will import this attendance setup into all advanced listening and advanced speaking courses. This means we'll need to import the attendance settings into a total of ten courses. Carry out the following steps to import an instance of the pre-formatted attendance module activity that will include all of the dated sessions we created in the template, into these courses:

  1. Navigate to the first course we are going to import the attendance module into. Using the MyCourses block, click on AdvList1, as shown in the following screenshot:

  2. From inside this course, click on the Import link found in the Administration block on the left side of the screen, as shown in the following screenshot:

  3. Enter the short name of the course that was used to create the attendance template (AT-M-Th-1) in the Search courses field and click on the Search courses button, as shown in the following screenshot:

  4. The result of the search will present the Attendance Template course we created earlier, as shown in the following screenshot. Click on the Use this course link.

  5. The Import course data screen will present a list of activities that may be imported from the course you have selected. We only want to import the Attendance module so we will unselect the Forums items by clicking on the tickbox. Additionally, we will set the Course files and Site files used in this course drop-down menus to No as we don't want any files to be backed up. Finally, click on Continue to begin the import process. These settings are all shown in the following screenshot:

  6. The following screenshot will present a note in red text stating that there are no users in the course being used for the backup. This is ok as we are not attempting to backup user data. Click on Continue to proceed with the import.

  7. The next screen will present a list of items that are being included in the backup that will be used for the import. Click on the Continue button shown at the bottom of the screen.

  8. The next screen will consist of a simple Import course data message with a Continue button. Click on the Continue button to proceed.

  9. The following Import course data screen will show the list of items that were presented in step 7. These are the items that have been unzipped from the backup file and were used for the import. Click on Continue to proceed to the course that we imported the attendance module into.

  10. Click on the Attendance link in the target course, Advanced Listening 1, to confirm that all of the sessions have been imported just as they existed in the template course.
