Avendoo® online documentation

Import learning content

You can import learning content from other Avendoo® systems in Avendoo®. You can for example archiver learning content and then later import it again.

The import of the learning content serves at this point only the import of Avendoo® learning content.

Learning content with a SCORM/AICC interface can be created as web-based training via media upload.

If you import instructional material from other Avendoo® systems, Avendoo® identifies media which are linked in CSS better. Avendoo® also imports the starting page during the import of a web-based training, but the starting page has to be created in Avendoo®  before.

If you import courses, all elements of the courses will be imported, except the course layout for example (for further examples please contact our support team). The data is stored in that category, which you’ve selected during the import, even if the media and learning objects for example are from other categories.

You find on this page the default import and the XLIFF import described. To get to the descriptions of your favored import, click the corresponding link in the list.

You can select between the following import options (see screenshot):

Important

If you export for example a course, all parts of this course are automatically exported.

Note

Before you can import Avendoo® learning content, you have to export them before. Select therefore in the favored view (instruction material for example) the menu below the table and select the mass processing function Export. Note that the import options have to be compatible, this means if you export with XLIFF option you can only do a XLIFF import.

To import learning content, choose Learning content → Import.

Then you choose between the following options:

  • Default import
  • Across import
  • XLIFF import
  • Import event dates
  • Import user
  • Migration import

Default import

Parameters

Keywords

Define, if the keywords should also be imported, before you finally start the import process.

If you have maintained the keyword to be imported, this means you have created keywords in the category tree or in the client and you have them assigned to a Yes no knowledge test question for example. Then you can set the check mark Import all keywords.


Source file

To select a learning object in ZIP format which is locally on your computer and you want to import, click the button +Add media and drag and drop the source file into that field.

If you have clicked the button +Add media, a dialog window opens. In this dialog window you can select your favored filed on your PC and finally click the button Open. That upload depends on the file size. As soon as the upload is done, you see the file name with format under this field.


Categories

To start a default import, select your favored category and thus the storage location in the category tree on the left side.

Note that when selecting the category, if the imported content should be available in the whole client area or only in certain areas like User Generated Content (UGC) or only for certain users.
