EDU System Tools
• If you attempt to upload a zip file that is not a CM, the system will generate the following error
message an you must make another attempt:
This file does not appear to be course module (it has no manifest file).
• Each server has a maximum file size setting for uploads that is established by your system
administrator. (The system default setting is to allow uploads of up to 1 MB.) If your file
upload repeatedly times out, or if you receive a message informing you that your upload
exceeds the server limit, you should contact your system administrator.
Course Modules and Shared Class Inheritance of Question Banks and Assignments
If you overwrite or edit or install a CM that has a new version of a QB with the same name as the old,
you permanently break the link to the parent class version of the QB. If, in the future, you want to
refresh the content of your class to match that in the parent class or restore the link to the parent
class version of the content, you must save your new, edited QB under a different name and then
delete the version that has the same (original) name as the original in the parent class' QB, or just
delete the edited/modified version of the QB. The parent class will restore the matching (original)
question bank automatically.
Note: If you modify QBs or Assignments that you inherit from a shared parent class, there is no risk
that the parent class version will overwrite your modified version, unless you specifically delete the
modified QB or assignment from your child class. This means that if you make changes to the inherited
QBs or assignments and save them to the original name, your changed versions sever the relationship
with the parent asset and you will not receive any future updates from the parent class automatically.
Therefore, you must stay in communication with the instructor in your shared parent class if you wish
to be notified of changes to parent class Question Banks and Assignments.

that are contained in the Course Module.
• A description of each component may also be included (depending on whether the creator of
the CM included this information).

above information posted.
