Written by Lisa Doty

Note: The Import feature is available only if your school or district has enabled it.

Migrate content from the Modern Classrooms Resource Hub to your linked Canvas learning management system (LMS) using the direct import method.


How to Direct Import to Canvas:

  1. In the Resource Hub, navigate to "Courses." Select grade level.

  2. Click the unit/module name to expand the menu view. Click the title of the section/topic to expand that section/topic.

3. On the section/topic page, click "Import" in the upper right corner.


​4. Choose an import destination. Select "Canvas: Import directly into your Canvas courses."

5. Choose the course in which you wish to import. Then, click "Quick Import." The quick import option will automatically begin importing to your signed-in Canvas account. Import progress will be displayed, and you'll receive a confirmation once completed.


Troubleshooting:
