Import Courses with the Course CSV Loader

Course administrators can add, update and delete learning modules in bulk at module, session and class level via the Course CSV Loader. You must first populate in a comma delimited (CSV) file, at a minimum, the mandatory fields required for type of import (that is, adding a new course, updating an existing course, or deleting a course).

To add, update or delete courses in the LMS via the Course CSV Data Loader

1. Go to Manage Center > Learning > Import > Course CSV Loader. The Course CSV Loader page opens and lists your previous course CSV importsprevious course CSV imports, if any.

   To see previous CSV imports from any user, select Anyone from the Uploaded By drop-down list.

2. If required, download the CSV file template and enter the course information in the relevant fields. 
3. Click + Import CSV file.
4. Click Choose File to select the CSV file to upload.
5. If your CSV file was saved with a specific file encoding the LMS can automatically detect it, otherwise you can select it from the list.
6. Select the delimiter used to separate fields in your CSV file. This is a comma in the downloadable CSV file template. Alternatively, you can use semicolons in your own CSV files.
7. Select the check box if you want to send notification emails to instructors who have been assigned to or de-assigned from sessions, as configured in the imported CSV file. Notifications are sent subject to the email templates selected for this process in System Configuration.
8. Select an option to send or not send learners a notification email, on a per session or per module basis, when new sessions have become available and they have indicated interest in the course. Notifications are sent subject to the enrollment policy assigned to the learning module.
9. Click Preview. The contents of the CSV file are shown in the Data Loader page so that you can review the data before importing the file.
10. Click Upload to import the CSV file. The Summary Report shows how many records in the file were imported successfully and how many failed.
