Export & Import All Material

As an Educator, you can export and import Materials to Aula using a .json file (a file that stores data in JavaScript Object Notation format). This can be done between different modules or between an external source and an Aula space. The below video is an overview of how to export and import your materials. 

To see these steps individually in separate videos, please continue below. 

Export All Material

To export all Material from a specific Aula space follow the steps below.

  1. In the module that you'd like to export Materials from, head to Journey > Materials.
  2. Click on the 3 dots symbol ⋮ at the top of the Materials sidebar and choose to Export material.
  3. Select a relevant location to download a .json file to your computer.

*An entire Section cannot be exported from a module page.

  2. Open a relevant page by clicking through the Materials sidebar to your left.
  3. Click on the 3 dots symbol ⋮ in the top right corner of the page and choose to Export page.

Import Materials

Once you've exported your Materials from your module, or if you have a .json file exported from a different platform, you can import it to a relevant module in Aula.

  1. In the module that you'd like to import Materials to, head to Journey > Materials.
  2. Click on the 3 dots symbol ⋮ at the top of the Materials sidebar and choose to Import material.
  3. Select a relevant .json file from your computer.

*All newly imported content will be added below your existing Material.

*Importing material will add to the existing content instead of replacing it.

Import Individual Pages

Alternatively, you can import some content into a single page. Your import will be added onto the existing content, rather than replacing it.

  1. In the module that you'd like to import Materials to, head to Journey > Materials.
  2. Open a relevant page by clicking through the Materials sidebar to your left.
  3. Click on the 3 dots symbol ⋮ in the top right corner of the page and choose to Import page.
  4. Select a relevant .json file from your computer.

*All newly imported content will be added below your existing Material.

*Importing material will add to the existing content instead of replacing it.

Notes

  • You may need to re-create assignment links, LTI blocks, and files on the new space as they do not transfer between spaces and are unique to specific modules. See more here.
  • Assessments, feed posts, group messages and DMs will not be transferred
