- Content Collection. This is the option to use if you have been instructed to import a file from the MyBeckett Content Collection.
f. Once the import starts, you will be presented with a message that says Importing module content. This may take a bit of time, especially if your content is quite large.
Examples of content that you can import include:
- Compressed files (.zip and .imscc files).
- Module or Community content that you or another instructor have downloaded as an Export Package.
- From other Ultra modules such as content created in sandpit/sandboxes and Templates.
