==IMS Common Cartridge import==
IMS Common Cartridge packages, such as a study package from [http://openlearn.open.ac.uk/ The Open University LearningSpace] can be imported into Moodle by uploading the zip file to ''Administration > Course administration > Restore'' then clicking the restore button (the same process as restoring a course backup).

===Troubleshooting tips===

Occasionally you may have problems with packages from some other systems (Blackboard 9.1 is one example).  In these cases try running the package through the [http://validator.imsglobal.org/index.jsp?validate=manifest IMS CC validator] to check it for errors.  The validator can also fix some of the errors.

==IMS Common Cartridge export==

A course can be exported as an IMS Common Cartridge as follows:

# Go to ''Administration > Course administration > Backup''
# Tick the 'IMS Common Cartridge 1.1' checkbox in the backup settings
# Go through the backup steps
# Complete - Click the Continue button

An IMS CC (with distinctive .imscc extension to avoid confusion with .zip files) is then saved in the private user backup area.

Note: Currently the ONLY activities that can be exported to IMS CC are as follows:

* Forum
* Label
* IMS LTI activity (external tool)
* Page resource
* Quiz (partial support)
* URL resource
