Upload Events

Overview

In case you are migrating from other LMSs, you will find this article very useful for creating large number of events (ILT 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/event.do?dispatch=bulkUploadWrapper

2. Create a CSV file in the following format

3. Upload. Events created using this method will be offline events. If an event is found for the course session that has start date within 1 hour of the start date specified in CSV, then same event will be updated. Otherwise new event will be created.
