    Are you required to have an enterprise account to import?  If so, this is very disappointing considering that Schoology boasted how nice it was to have a system that made it so teachers wouldn't loose all their hard work.

    Hi Dean, 

    The importing of courses and tests is a feature available to Basic and Enterprise users alike! These import features are accessible from Resources and within Tests/Quizzes in a course.

    If you're having any trouble locating these options, let us know! We are happy to help in any way.

    Thanks for sharing your question.
