Importing from Site
Use to transfer course materials from a development or past semester course to a current semester course.

1. Log into Laulima (https://laulima.hawaii.edu), select a course you wish to import the materials to.

2. Insert (via Site Info > Edit Tools) all the tools you wish to import from the original course. For instance, if you wish to import tests and quizzes from an older site, add the "Test & Quizzes" tool in your new site first. If you are not sure of how to enable tools in Laulima, please refer to the tutorial titled, Laulima tools & Examples of Usage at the top of the page.

For this example we will import Announcements, Discussion and Private Message, Resources, and added the Assignments, Schedule, and Test & Quizzes tools.

3. Click on "Site Info" in the Course Menu. Then in the menu bar, select "Import from Site".

4. Check the box next to the site that contains the material to import. You may choose more than one site. Then click Continue .

5. Check the box next to each tool that you would like import material from. If you are importing from more than one site, be sure to check the box next to the tool, and under the correct site from which the materials will come from. Then click Finish.

6. Newly imported annoucements and assignments are saved as drafts. To make them viewable to users, you will have to post them. Other tools will important without their original pre-set settings, each will have to be set for release within the new course.

**Only discussions that were labeled as a "TASK" will be imported into the Discussions and Private Messages (otherwise just category and forum titles will be imported).
