**Exporting Course Components Using the Import/Export/Copy Components Tool** 


Avenue allows course designers to import course components from existing courses as a .zip file, import previously exported components into new courses, or copy components between courses. This document will cover exporting a course and saving it as a .zip file, which can be imported into another Avenue shell.


1. Enter the course you wish to export, import, or copy components from. Click on Edit Course in the top right hand corner.

//<font 12.8000001907349px/arial;;#000000;;#ffffff>To export components from the course:</font> // 


<font 12.8000001907349px/arial;;#000000;;#ffffff>1. Select Export Components from the menu. Note that if you also select to include course files in the export, then any course files associated with the course component you’re exporting will be exported too. For example, if you export a module from the content section of your course, you could also select to export any presentations you have put under that module.</font>


<font 12.8000001907349px/arial;;#000000;;#ffffff>2. Click Start</font>

<font 12.8000001907349px/arial;;#000000;;#ffffff>3. Select any course components that you would like to export from the list in the new window. If you would like to export all items within a course component, select Export all items, or, if you would like to only export certain items (e.g. just one particular quiz from the quiz component), choose **Select individual items to export.**</font>

<font 12.8000001907349px/arial;;#000000;;#ffffff>4. Scroll down to the bottom of the list and click **Continue.**</font>


<font 12.8000001907349px/arial;;#000000;;#ffffff>5. If you chose to only export certain items from a course component, you’ll then be taken to the **Select Content Modules and Topics** screen. From here you can select exactly which items within the course component you would like to export. Note that you may have to click the + beside a module to see a list of what files are within the module.\\
