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

There is no need to recreate your Moodle content each time you teach a new section. Copy the content from one section to another by using the Import function in the Course Management tools.

Steps

1) Click on the gear icon in the upper right corner of your Moodle page to open the Course Management window.  

2) Choose Import from the Course column list.

2) Then Select or Search for the course that you would like to import from and click Continue.

3) Then step through the wizard to select the course items that you would like to import.

• If you want to import everything, click Jump to final step.
• If there are activities and resources you do not want to include, click Next.

4) Deselect any activities and resources you do not want imported.

5) Click Finish and perform import.

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

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.
