LMS export
Your course, inside the LMS you already use.
Curriculum Builder LMS export packs a finished course into IMS Common Cartridge files (.imscc), with one package tuned for each LMS. You import the file for your platform into Canvas, D2L Brightspace, Moodle, or Blackboard Learn. Module pages, quizzes, and assignments with rubrics arrive ready to publish.

What transfers
What the package carries.
The package mirrors the course plan. Each module becomes a unit in your LMS, in the same order as the book and the course site.
- Module pagesEvery module as LMS pages, in ARAD order, with the G-O-A-L-S header at the top.
- Quizzes and testsPretest, module quizzes, and post-test as QTI items with correct answers marked.
- AssignmentsApplied tasks with clear steps, points, and a rubric: native in Canvas, a scoring table elsewhere.
- Course structureA manifest file that sets module order and titles.
- Video and captionsModule video with its VTT captions, linked or packed by your LMS file limits.
Platform notes
How each LMS imports the package.
Menu names change between versions. Your LMS admin can confirm the exact path for your site.
Canvas
Canvas-tuned package
Import through Course Settings, then Import Course Content, and pick the Common Cartridge package type. Rubrics and assignment groups come across.
D2L Brightspace
Common Cartridge 1.3
Import through the Import, Export, and Copy Components tool in course admin.
Moodle
Common Cartridge 1.1
Import through the course restore tool. Assignments arrive as pages, and the GIFT file loads the quiz bank into your question bank.
Blackboard Learn
Common Cartridge 1.1
Import through Import Package in Original courses or the content import tool in Ultra. Ultra flattens deep folders.
What to check after import. Each LMS renders some items in its own style. Canvas gets native rubrics; other platforms get the rubric as a table inside the assignment. Canvas items arrive unpublished so you can review them first. Rare question types may import as plain text.
We check every package against the IMS Common Cartridge schemas before handoff and send import notes for your platform.
Why it matters
Keep your LMS as the home base.
One gradebook
Quiz scores land in the LMS your team already reports from.
Hours of setup saved
Skip the copy and paste. One import builds the course shell for you.
Easy updates
When a standard changes, rebuild the course and import the new package.
LMS questions
Common questions about LMS export.
Prefer the built-in course site? Every course also ships with its own site and trainee portal.
What is a Common Cartridge file?
IMS Common Cartridge is an open standard from 1EdTech for packing a course into one file with the .imscc file type. The file holds a manifest, course pages, quiz items, and links that an LMS can read and rebuild as a course.
Which LMS platforms can import a Curriculum Builder course?
All four. Each build ships three packages: one tuned for Canvas, a Common Cartridge 1.3 package for D2L Brightspace, and a Common Cartridge 1.1 package for Moodle and Blackboard Learn, since those two read the older version best. You also get the quiz banks as QTI and as a Moodle GIFT file.
Do rubrics transfer to my LMS?
In Canvas, yes: the Canvas package attaches each rubric as a native Canvas rubric. On other platforms the rubric arrives as a clear table inside the assignment instructions, since Common Cartridge has no standard rubric format.
Do quiz questions keep their answers?
Yes. Quiz items travel in QTI, the question format inside Common Cartridge, with the correct answers marked. Common types such as multiple choice and true or false import cleanly. We test the import and flag any item type your LMS shows differently.
