How to Import Content into an Empty Insight Shell
You’ve logged into your Insight course and you discover there is NOTHING THERE! Why? What does this
mean? There could be several reasons; (A) you may not have asked Ed Tech to import the
MyLanguageLab template or the content of a previous course, (B) a mistake may have been made, OR
(C) you may have requested a META course and have logged into the wrong shell. Here are solutions:
1.
2.
For scenarios A and B above, you may import the MyLanguageLab shell OR a previous
semester’s course content yourself. (Instructions below)
For scenario C, just search for the course shell with “META” in the title. Log into that shell.
HOW TO IMPORT CONTENT INTO YOUR EMPTY INSIGHT SHELL
1.
2.
Log in to your course.
Choose IMPORT from the Administration menu in the
left column.

course from a previous semester.
