Bulk upload of 'Other Evidence'

Bulk upload of 'Other Evidence'

Hi, we would like to upload learning records for our staff.  Most of these learning activities are items that are externally sourced. We're not in a position to be able to create course shells for each of them (we're talking thousands of unique items). I can only think of doing a bulk upload of 'Other evidence' but can't find how to do this.

So I'm trying to find out 1) if we can do a bulk upload of learning completed outside the LMS without having to create individual course shells and if we can 2) what fields we need and 3) how we do the bulk upload.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Forgot to mention, we're on 2.4.12

It looks like the Completion History import was added in Totara  2.5 .

From the import screen below it looks like this will be added as evidence if the course doesn't exist and you can choose the type of evidence. There is also an upload file option so this will be able to be done when you decide to upgrade.

Hi Craig

Is there anything comparable in 2.4.12?

Hi Fiona,

The only thing near it is completion by RPL, and as its not possible to do a bulk upload.

regards,

George.
