Canvas how to Import Cirrus Cartridge files into an existing Course

1. Go into the course’s Settings by clicking “Settings” from the left-hand side of the page while inside the course. 
2. Click “Import Course Content” on the right-hand column.
   
3. On the Import Content page, select Content Type Common Cartridge 1.x Package.
   1. Make sure to select this type!  Other types may not import the file correctly and the class won’t work.
      
      
4. Fill in the rest of the Import information. 
   1. Source: use the “Choose File” button to select your cartridge file. 
   2. Default Question bank: Leave set as “Select question bank”
   3. Content: click “All Content” 
   4. Options: leave both Options unclicked. 
      
5. Click the “Import” button to continue. 
6. It may take a while for the cartridge file to process, depending on how many items are in the class.
   
   1. Status will start at “Queued”.
      
   2. It will change to “Processing” with a loading bar.  You can confirm the whole file name by hovering your cursor over it.  
      
   3. When processing is finished, the status will change to “Completed”.  The icon should be green to indicate a successful import.  (In my example it is orange, indicating an issue with the course setup.  I created this course just to show you the import process and the LTI App isn’t fully set up in this sandbox.)
7. Click on the Assignments tab to view the new class material.  
   1. It may take a minute for items to load, depending on how many items are in the class. 
      
      
   2. All class materials will be under the Assignments tab when the cartridge file is first imported.  You may move materials according to your school’s preferences.
