Check out this document, which explains how to move content between Canvas courses.

K16 Solutions, the firm managing the course migration, will add an “exceptions” file to each migrated course. This file will note changes that cannot be remediated in the switch from Moodle to Canvas.

Moodle books create a collection of webpages on a single topic. Those activities will migrate to Canvas with no problem; they simply become a set of pages in the Canvas course structure. We are working with K16 Solutions, the firm migrating our courses, to clearly delineate these books as a distinct content areas within Canvas. However, faculty may need to add some graphic elements (which will come with our default Canvas template) to distinguish what was once a Moodle book from other content.

No. At this time, Canvas does not have a function that creates a clickable checklist for students to complete as they work through a course. When a course migrates to Canvas, that functionality will simply disappear.

Canvas doesn’t have a folder system for a collection of files within a course as Moodle does. Instead, all of those files will be linked and available on a single page.

Canvas requires that a quiz be worth the total number points per questions; Canvas will not adjust scores within a quiz to reflect a larger overall grade. Instructors must assign more points to quiz questions instead.

Because the Canvas gradebook works differently than Moodle’s, non-graded assignments are added to a Canvas gradebook category worth 0%. That way, the assignment still will not contribute to a student’s final grade.

This problem was considered “out of scope” by the company performing the migration of our courses. Resolving this issue probably requires some behind-the-scenes fixes in the pages’s html; please contact eLearning for help.

Those links will not work because they are literally pointing to a Moodle item. Fortunately, this issue is easy to resolve with the “Course Link” tool in the Canvas Rich Content Editor.

Moodle Glossary activities come into Canvas as pages that anyone can edit. While we lose the Glossary tool, we gain Canvas content pages that can be edited by students.

In the migration of courses from Moodle to Canvas, some of the images in a Moodle course’s topic/section descriptions cannot land on page due to differences between the two systems. However, those images should be retained in your Canvas course files. To re-add the image, open the “Add image” tool in the Canvas Rich Content Editor and select “Course Images.” In the right-side course image drawer that opens up, look for then click on the image you need.

Because videos came over to Canvas from many different original sources (i.e., Moodle, ScreenPal, YouTube), the coding behind the scences doesn’t quite work the same, so videos may change size and shape. The easiest way to address the situation is simply to re-embed the video in Canvas.
