Overview
In case you are migrating from other LMSs, you will find this article very useful for creating large number of courses and courses sessions in EduBrite LMS by uploading a CSV file.
Steps
1. Open the bulk import page by opening this url - http://<your-site-url> /oltpublish/site/course.do?dispatch=bulkUploadWrapper
2. Create a CSV file in the following format
3. Upload - new course / course sessions will be created and existing ones will be updated. Course sessions will be created in TRAINING group (which is normally created by the site initialization).
