Converting Camino pages to pdf

Capturing Your Uploads (click here for how to capture student content)

There are two methods to convert files from Camino. The first can be used by anyone; the

second requires a subscription to Adobe Acrobat Pro. Both methods use steps 1 and 2, differing

only at steps 3-4.

1. Export your course

a. In your Camino class, go to

Settings

b. Select Export Course

Content

c. At “Export Type,” choose

Course and click the Create

Export button

d. It can take some time for the

course to export. When it’s

done, you’ll receive an email

prompt and find a link to the

export file here

2. Download the file to your computer.

a. Click that export link,

then navigate to your

downloads folder.

b. Highlight the extension imscc

and type zip in its place (this

can be done without damaging

the file; it simply changes the

extension to one that your

computer will be able to open).

c. Double click on the zip file to

produce a folder with html files

of your course materials.

3. Select the files you want to convert to pdf. Be selective; choose only those syllabi,

assignments, and other elements that best represent your teaching expertise and

pedagogical development. At this point, what you will be able to do depends on whether you

have the paid subscription to Adobe Acrobat Pro, which allows batch conversions of multiple

html files to pdf (right column), or not (left column).

upload to Faculty180.

Your pdf files are now available to upload to Faculty180.

Capturing Student Content

Student content is not automatically downloaded in a Camino course export.

If you would like to include a representative sample of student performance to illustrate an

assignment or the quality of student work, there are three steps:

1. Open the page, discussion

board, or other student

content file in Camino.

2. Right click on the page to

pull up the menu, and selec

Print.

Note: In addition to this method,

web browsers have their own

unique methods to enable

printing to pdf from a webpage;

see this DigitalTrends guide:

webpage-as-a-pdf.

3. Select for the destina-

tion Save to PDF, cli

the Save button, and

choose the location on

your computer where

you are staging these

files for eventual upload

to your evaluati

portfolio.
