How do I import from D2L?

Importing modules from D2L to Coursetune reduces course development time.

This feature is only available when two conditions are met: 

1. a Coursetune course is linked to a D2L course
2. a user has been assigned to the Catalyst course in Coursetune.

What is imported from D2L

The import from D2L to Coursetune is a reverse of the export from Coursetune to D2L. Only the following content types are imported: 

D2L Content Types	Coursetune/Catalyst Content Types
Module Titles	Module Titles
Pages Titles Descriptions**	Activities > Content Exploration* Titles Descriptions**
Discussions Titles Descriptions** Points, if in Gradebook	Activities > Discussions* Titles Descriptions** Points
Assignments Titles Descriptions** Points, if in Gradebook	Activities > Assignments* Titles Descriptions** Points
Quizzes Titles Descriptions** Points, if in Gradebook	Activities > Quizzes* Titles Descriptions** Points

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.
