Importing modules from Canvas to Coursetune reduces course development time.
This feature is only available when two conditions are met:
- a Coursetune course is linked to a Canvas course
- a user has been assigned to the Catalyst course in Coursetune.
What is imported from Canvas?
The import from Canvas to Coursetune is a reverse of the export from Coursetune to Canvas. Only the following content types are imported:
Canvas Content Types | Coursetune/Catalyst Content Types |
Module Titles | Module Titles |
Pages
|
Activities > Content Exploration*
|
Discussions
|
Activities > Discussions*
|
Assignments
|
Activities > Assignments*
|
Quizzes
|
Activities > Quizzes*
|
All other content types in the Canvas course (e.g., announcements, external links) are unsupported and will not automatically be imported into Coursetune/Catalyst.
* For each module, a placeholder LO will be added. All activities in the module will be aligned to the placeholder LO.
**Descriptions import with headings, some font styles, lists, and links. Embedded images and videos will not be imported. Styling and spacing may require correction after import.

Can I import more than once?
Yes, the import detects matching items, and only items that differ will be imported.
