Warning

This feature was a closed pilot experiment. This feature is poorly documented and may not work properly.

Before you create a duplicate course, be sure to check with your DevOps team to determine the website that hosts your organization’s courses for LTI use.

To create the duplicate course, follow these steps.

  1. In Studio, export the original course. For more information, see Export a Course.

  2. In Studio on your organization’s host site for LTI courses, create a course. This is the duplicate course.

    Note

    If your organization uses the same site as the host for both the original course and for LTI courses, be sure to give the duplicate course a different name or run.

  3. In the duplicate course, import the tar.gz file you exported in step 1. For more information, see Import a Course.

Verify Content Status#

Only the published course content from your Open edX instance appears in an external LMS.

Note

The Hide from students setting for sections, subsections, and units does not affect the visibility of content in an external LMS. Only the publication status of a unit can prevent content from being included.

To verify that all of the content in your course is published, follow these steps.

  1. In Studio, from the Content menu select Outline. The Course Outline page opens.

  2. Expand each section and subsection.

  3. Locate units with Unpublished units will not be released or Unpublished changes to live content below the unit name.

  4. For each unpublished unit, make any changes that are necessary to prepare the content for publication. Alternatively, delete the unit.

  5. Publish the unit. For more information, see Publish a Unit.
