Can I convert a zip file to an imscc?
The course I exported has been deleted, so I can't just start over.
Hi @JenniferWatson ...
It sounds like you want to export a Canvas course and then import that export file into another course. Does that sound right? If so, are you using these Guides?
Also, if you are wanting to copy/import the course from one to another in the same Canvas environment, there is a simpler way to do this...rather than using both of those Guides. Instead, try this:
Hoping to hear back from you soon! Take care...be well.
I am running in to the exact same problem. I am not sure why this has been marked as "solved" since the solution provided does not actually help
I am having the same issue, too. For some reason my packages are exporting right now as .zip rather than .imscc files. I do have an older .imscc file that downloaded successfully and that one can be imported to other courses... but apparently this is not working this time.
I clicked "Export course content"; the file prepares and starts downloading, but it downloads as a .zip. I am using MacOS Ventura 13.7.5 with Firefox.
I have tried to change the extension from .zip to .imscc, as advised. When I proceed with the import, the result is "Failed" due to "Unsupported content package."
My suspicion is that something in my OS is converting the imscc to zip and losing some kind of important format information in the file wrapper. Is this some kind of known issue on Mac?

When you are creating a quiz and/or also reviewing a quiz in Canvas after the class has taken it, the questions aren't numbered so after you get past the first few questions, there is no way to even tell what number you are on. Can someone change that?
Speedgrader chaning file name when being downloaded. Speedgrader: When downloading a submitted assignment, the file name is being changed to an unrecognizable name — (Student's actual name was part of the file name — changed for privacy.) Ideas???
We are all familiar with the standard Course Calendar, where assignment due dates are automatically added. However, at my institution, we structure our assignments as Challenges that develop over a period of time, rather than just a single deadline. Currently, the calendar only highlights the "end point." It would be a…
