	This course format has been used since April 2008 in a full 1.9 production environment. Moving sections of courses has been increasingly more reliable, especially with quizzes which have a complicated set of categories and permissions. Since 2009, we have added the [Sharing Cart \| https://docs.moodle.org/en/Sharing_Cart], which is a separate block for moving individual course items. We believe both the Project Course Format and Sharing Cart supports all standard modules plus some third party modules (Feedback, Project, Splitscreen). Let us know which modules work or do not work in your environment.		This course format has been used since April 2008 in a full 1.9 production environment.
