MyAccess folders can hold information and multimedia related to specific topics. After saving content to your folders, you can export the folder as a .CSV file in a table format or .IMSCC file to import into your learning management system. Additional information about exporting folders is available at this link.

Please note that many instructors prefer the table format option because importing the .IMSCC file into the LMS can sometimes require an advanced understanding of the LMS functionality.
