That means porting over an old webpage or backing up an existing site got much easier! In fact, check out our open-source Google Sites import/export tool that does just that.

The OU is developing the ability for students to use their own online environment to aggregate and view resources from their courses. Students won't be tied to an LMS (but can still use) and instead can use iGoogle etc as a hub.
