Import content from publisher

Desire2Learn does not yet work with the cartridge download keys that publishers provide for Blackboard, but you can get content from your publisher for use with Desire2Learn. Here are the steps:

1. Tell the publisher you need a Blackboard or WebCT formatted course export file. Files can also be in SCORM format. The preferred format is Desire2Learn, of course, but not all publishers are yet able to provide that.
2. Likely the publisher will give you a direct link to the file, or you might receive instructions to download the file from an FTP site. Download the file to your local computer. The file will have a ".zip" extension.
3. In a Desire2Learn course offering, select the Edit Course option on the navbar and then Import/Export/Copy Course Components
4. Choose the option to Import Components from a File and browse to the file you downloaded.
5. The file will upload to D2L and you will get an opportunity to select the entire package or just certain sections, just like copying components from another course offering.
