You can export a Canvas course to give to someone in another Canvas account, to upload to another institution's account at a later date, or to create a copy as a backup on your local computer. You can import an export file into Canvas at any time.
Exports are packaged as IMSCC ZIP files, which can only be opened by programs that support Common Cartridge files. You can also change the extension from .imscc to .zip and treat it as any other ZIP file.
Notes:
In Course Navigation, click the Settings link.
Click the Export Course Content link.
In the Export Type heading, click the Course radio button [1]. Click the Create Export button [2].
Note: If you have previously exported the course, Canvas will display prior exports under the Content Exports heading.
View the progress bar. Exporting a course in Canvas may take a few minutes, depending on its size. You will receive an email when the export is complete.
When your download is ready, click the New Export link.
Note: Content exports expire after 30 days and can no longer be downloaded.
