★ Step by Step Instructions
➜ Step 1: Go to the Course Settings for the course you created.
If you have not already created a course, follow the instructions below:
You can access the Course Settings page from the Assignments page for the course you created, or by clicking the gear icon (⚙) next to the course on the Courses page.
➜ Step 2: Scroll down to Export to Common Cartridge
If you do not see this feature, please reach out to your Customer Success Manager to give you access.
If you do have access, click Export, and you’ll be prompted to set up permissions for the course.
If you're the only teacher using this course, then you're all set. You can click continue.
If you intend to share this course cartridge with other teachers, you'll need to give them permission to use this course. So, if there's a specific teacher that you intend to share this course with, you can add them via email. It’s ok if they don't have a CodeHS account yet.
If you would like to share the course with anyone at your district, you can choose Grant Organization-Wide Access and select the option to share with anyone in your district.
View Permission vs. Edit Permission
View: If you provide a teacher with view permission, that will prevent them from editing and removing anything from your course, but they’ll still be able to assign it to students. If you’re a school admin, and you don’t want the teachers to be able to make any course edits, this is the option you’ll want to choose.
Edit: If you do want teachers to also be able to make changes to the course like adding assignments, removing assignments, changing due dates, you can give them edit permission. Keep in mind, any changes made to the course on their end will also affect the course on your end.
You can always come back and change these permissions later. Click continue.
➜ Step 3: Export the course
Choose Buzz as your LMS, click Export, and then Download Your Buzz Common Cartridge.
This will save a .imscc file to your computer. You will not need to open this file, but you will import it into Buzz. You can change the name of the file, but make sure it still ends with .imscc.
➜ Step 4: Import the .imscc File into your Buzz Course
Navigate to the Editor for your Buzz Course
From the Syllabus Tab > Add Activity
Select the 1EdTech package option and upload your .imscc Common Cartridge file you downloaded earlier
Note: Depending on the size of your CodeHS course, this upload may take a few minutes
➜ Step 5: Select which Activities you would like Graded
- Setting an Individual Activity to Gradable
Edit the assignment from the Syllabus Tab
From the Settings tab > Check the box for This acitvity is gradable > Save
- Setting Multiple Activities to Gradable in Bulk
From the Activity List tab > Check all Activities you would like Gradable > Bulk Edit
Tip: If you would like to Set All CodeHS activities to Gradable, you will need to filter to File or website to bulk edit to Gradable
Check Activity is gradable > use the dropdown to select Yes > Check Confirmation box > Update
➜ Step 6: Create Sections & Enroll Students
Once you have set your activities to gradable and you click any assignment link from Buzz to launch CodeHS, a section will be created in your CodeHS account. Any students enrolled in the course in Buzz will be enrolled in the CodeHS section. It may take a few minutes for assignments to load.
From the Syllabus Tab > Click on the three dots next to an assignment > Preview
Note: The first launch may take a minute as this is what creates a section in CodeHS
If students already have CodeHS accounts, as long as their email is consistent between CodeHS and Buzz, their existing account will be enrolled in your section.
Rosters are auto-populated by Buzz and sync nightly. If anything seems off, you can press the sync button, which will pull the latest roster from Buzz and update it on CodeHS.
