Many hospitals and healthcare organizations that implement the Dual Code learning environment need to migrate classroom sessions from their legacy LMS or create some for upcoming courses. The classroom sessions can easily be imported into the Dual Code learning environment by uploading a CSV (comma separated value) file.
NOTE: This tool leverages the same tool as the "Importing Attendance Records". You may use the tool to create classroom sessions and log attendance records at the same time, using 1 spreadsheet. We suggest that you read the documentation on how to import attendance records to better understand how this tool works.
Step-by-step Guide
To upload classroom sessions:
- Prepare your CSV file (read the "Important RulesNotes" section below to learn more about the format for the CSV file)
- Go to Site Administration > Courses > Upload Sessions and Attendance > Upload Records
- Add your CSV file to the "File" text area
- For "Upload Mode", select "Add new sessions only"
- Click on the "Preview" button at the bottom of the page
- Review the "Results" column
- If you do NOT have a green checkmark in the Results column, review the "Status" column, fix your errors in the CSV, click on the "Cancel" button, and start this procedure over with the new CSV. Please note that by default, you are only previewing the first 10 rows of your CSV file. So you may want to review the CSV file in its entirety if errors were discovered.
- If you ONLY see green checkmarks in the Results column, click on the "Upload Records" button. Please note that by default, you are only previewing the first 10 rows of your CSV file. So it is possible to have green checkmarks in the first 10 rows but errors in other rows in the CSV file.
The file is now scheduled to be processed. Generally speaking, the file is processed almost immediately, but if the file is very large, or if there are other files waiting to be processed, it may take a while to process your file. You will receive a notification once your file has been processed. It's important that you verify the results and fix any errors that may have been encountered during the upload of the file.
