Viewing the Content Import log
A file titled Content Import Log, which describes where content appears after it is imported, is created when you import the following types of content:
- an entire course exported from CE 4.1 with the Migration Pack (MP)
- a content module exported from a CE 4.x course
- all quizzes, surveys, and questions exported from a CE 4.x course
- web sites and pages created using Macromedia Dreamweaver® MX 2004 software and the Content Packager for IMS Extension
- an e-Learning Resource Pack (e-Pack).
The link will take you, the instructor, into the log telling how your course material is now set up in your new course. Sample information for this sample Content Import log might be:

Results of the course migration
Homepage becomes: Home Page
Details:
- Organizer pages migrated.
- If upper and lower textblocks were added to an organizer page, they migrated and are called headers and footers, respectively.
- If banner text was added to an organizer page, it migrated and is now part of the header.
- If custom icons were used in your course, the icons migrated.
- Column layout migrated.
- Links to content items, such as quizzes, migrated.
- If selective release criteria were set on a link to a content item, the link is hidden from Students (the word Hidden appears next to the link).
- In this version of the Learning System, selective release criteria are now set on a content item, not on a link to the item. Because of this, release criteria did not migrate.
- Links to tools, such as the Calendar tool, are now on the course menu, under Course Tools, instead of on organizer pages. In this version of the Learning System, if you want, in a folder or learning module, you can add links to specific content items, such as a specific assignment.
- If selective release criteria were set on a link to a tool, the tool is hidden from Students on the course menu (the letter H appears next to the tool name).
- If none of the links on an organizer page migrated, the organizer page did not migrate. For example, if an organizer page contained links to the Calendar and Index tools, neither of which can be linked to an organizer page, the organizer page did not migrate.
