Copy Content from one Course to another in Moodle (Import)

Summary

Teachers can reuse course content from a prior term by using Moodle's course Import function in the Course administration tools.*

*Teachers can import from Moodle 4 only. If course is from Spring 2023 or earlier and is only in Moodle 3, the import will need to be completed by TLC staff. Please contact helpdesk@clarkson.edu, if you are not sure.

Steps

1) Go to the desired course, and Turn Editing On.

2) Locate Import on the right under Course Administration.

After completing the Import, look to see if you have any External Tool activities in your course, as you may need to update links.  

[Moodle Admins Only] Unwanted Student Data?

If after you import, you find there is student data, forum posts or grade book items you wish to delete, you can choose to Restore, and deselect student data. The Restore process is very similar to the import process.
