Overview

This method copies and converts all course content, files, links, materials, folders, tools, discussions, assessments, and Grade Center columns from an Original course version into a new Ultra version.

  • If your Original course has a simple design and does not contain a wide variety of tools, (ie, there are only folders, files, and assignments) - Bulk Conversion may be the easiest option for you.

  • It’s important to be aware, this process also copies over unused course items including un-deployed tests, question pools, hidden grade center columns, archived pandemic-era content, etc. If you would prefer not to copy over old unused content/materials, we recommend using Method 2.

🛑 Bulk conversion will likely copy course items in a manner which requires varying degrees of clean-up and/or reorganization. There could potentially be course items which are missing or broken and may need to be re-added. If you encounter problematic items that are not deletable or that give you error messages, please notify huskyct@uconn.edu.

Step 1: Decide the Organizational Structure

With the Manual Rebuild method, a good starting point is to decide the organizational folder/module structure for your course in the Ultra course.

  • In Original, the organizational structure of courses was built into the left side menu, with Course Content commonly containing most or all of the content organization within.

  • In Ultra, “Course Content” is now the main page, and Learning modules and folders are added to that.

    • If all of the content in your original course was contained within Course Content without additional folders structure, you can replicate this structure.

    Please see this video for a full walkthrough of how to Copy Content:
