Re: Course Catalogue
If you do choose to set up a database activity in Totara to store course catalogue information then it is possible to import entries from a csv file into the database .You could create a report in the reportbuilder that include the necessary fields and values in each row and export as csv.
To see the format expected when importing the csv file - use the export database and use this as a basis for your csv file.

Re: Course Catalogue
Hi -
There is another option - you can look at the Moodle Course Uploader here https://github.com/piersharding/moodle-tool_uploadcourse - I'm not sure about the version compatibility with Totara, though as it requires the Moodle admin tools plugin arcitecture which I think is either 2.2 or 2.3.
Cheers,
Piers Harding.
Re: Course Catalogue
Hi Darren
We have the same issue - but with only 2,500 course its on a much smaller scale. We made the decision some years ago to make all training (and the majority of non-training development activities) to appear in the LMS. Our interest was in creating visibility of available development, addressing duplication, and of improving the selection process.
We have a central admin person creating pages for external training (staff then book via the face-to-face module), local L&D folk creating pages for their business areas (often F2F as well), and we've been creating pages for non-training development such as reading lists & work tasks. In December we added pre-formatted Comments to associate with Competencies (along with course pages) to capture 'soft' development activities.
Years ago we looked at the Moodle script for uploading bulk courses (https://moodle.org/mod/data/view.php?d=13&rid=1536) but this didn't meet our requirements as we'd still have to visit each page and tidy it up.
I'd be really interested to hear on options you consider and what you decide on!
Cheers
Austen
