Export a Common Cartridge package from one LMS and import it into another

Steps

1. In the source LMS, locate the course or content export feature and select Common Cartridge as the export format; choose the CC version (1.1, 1.2, 1.3, or higher) supported by both platforms.
2. Initiate the export; the LMS produces a file with the .imscc extension (used since CC v1.1) — download this file to your local machine.
3. Inspect the package if needed: a .imscc file is a ZIP archive; rename it temporarily to .zip to open it and verify imsmanifest.xml is present at the root, which confirms a valid package structure.
4. In the destination LMS, navigate to the course import or content import section and select Common Cartridge as the import type.
5. Upload the .imscc file; the LMS parses imsmanifest.xml to reconstruct course structure, items, and associated resources.
6. Review the import report for warnings about unsupported resource types (e.g., LTI links requiring reconfiguration) and manually correct any items the destination LMS could not fully resolve.
