Thin Common Cartridge files are shown as one module. Click the Modules expand icon.

Select All Group Content

Select All Group Content

Locate the content by expanding the nested structure. Content groups show the number of items within the group [1].

If you want to import an entire content group, select the checkbox next to the group [2].

 

Select Module Import Option

Select Module Import Option

Like other course import types, selecting a content group selects all items within the module group. However, Thin Common Cartridge content is always imported as one module, which can be extremely cumbersome in a Canvas course.

By default, content is imported as one module [1]. If you would rather import content as separate modules, click the Import sub-modules separately radio button [2].

Note: If you want to import several content groups as separate modules, module settings are applied on a per-content-group basis, meaning you must fully expand each content group and specify the separate modules option. Otherwise, all selected content in the hierarchy will always be imported as one module.

Select Specific Group Content

Select Specific Group Content

To import only a few items from a content group, select the specific items to be imported [1]. Canvas places a dash in the content group checkbox [2], indicating not all items are selected within the group.

Selecting individual content items automatically imports content as separate modules.
