Owlia Course Importer

v1.1.4Stable No AIMoodle 4.5 – 5.3

Bring Owlia Designer courses into Moodle — selectively.

Course Importer brings a course authored in Owlia Designer (Course Creator) into an existing Moodle course. Instructors upload its ZIP export, tick the topics, lessons and activities they want, and follow the import item by item as Moodle sections and activities are created.

Topics become sections, lessons become Owlia activities (or Text and media areas), and questions, questionnaires, flash cards, formative practice and mark-the-words activities become their Moodle counterparts. Images in lessons are copied into Moodle. It calls no Owlia service and needs no API key.

Learning alignment

The value for learners and instructors

Where this plugin genuinely supports learning — and where it does not.

Instructor workload

Core

A course designed in Owlia Designer reaches Moodle without being rebuilt by hand, with its structure and activity types intact.

Instructor control

Supporting

Selective import lets instructors decide exactly which parts land in the course, and every item respects their Moodle permissions.

What it does not do

The importer itself has no learning logic: the practice, feedback and flash-card value comes from the activity plugins it creates. Learners never see the importer.

  1. 1

    Install Course Importer

    Upload the ZIP in Site administration → Plugins → Install plugins (or copy the folder to local/owliaci), then complete the upgrade from Site administration → Notifications.

  2. 2

    Install the activity plugins

    Optionally install the Owlia activity plugins so every content type of your Designer course has a Moodle home.

  3. 3

    Import a course

    In a course, open More → Owlia Course Importer, upload the Designer ZIP (up to 500 MB extracted), choose the items and import. Moodle's Editing teacher and Manager roles can import by default.

Data & privacy

  • Nothing is sent to any external service.
  • The uploaded ZIP is extracted to a temporary folder and deleted after the import, or after one hour.
  • The plugin stores no personal data; imported content is normal Moodle course content.
