Template:Re-using courses and activities

Course activities and resources may be imported from any other course that the teacher has editing permissions. This will allow teachers to re-use instead of re-creating one or more activities or resources.

Import course data is similar to a backup and restore process and does not include any user data.

How to use import

Import is a 6 step process.

  • In Course Administration>Settings, click on the Import link:
