Importing into a Book

Our institution is using, AFAIK, Moodle 2.1. I need to import a mini-website into Moodle as a Book. The 'site' is actually an old WebCT Learning Module, consisting of a bunch of HTML docs, images and a common CSS file, all in one directory. I might be missing something obvious, but I can't find out how to import this.

Re: Importing into a Book

Further on this thread, in the Book Module page it says: "Previously created websites can be imported directly into the Book module." Which got my hopes up, but I've not seen any docs on how this can be done. Can anyone shed any light on this option?

Re: Importing into a Book

Re: Importing into a Book

As I said before the capability of the import function is very basic. Fred would have to rearrange his pages in a way that he would have to change every single HTML-Page.

Prepare Items to Copy

Before you start importing content, we recommend doing a little preparation in the course you are copying from. Note: This step is especially important if the target course already contains any content.

Clean Up Imported Content
