  • Most of the content of your course is "Activities and Resources". So keep that box checked.
  • If you know that you use "blocks" or any special calendar events, you can leave those checked. Otherwise, uncheck them.
  • If you've created quizzes with questions, you'll want to leave "Question Bank" checked. 

  • Click "Next" to continue.
