Copying course materials from an existing course page to a new course page
Avoid double work! As the same courses are often offered multiple times, it makes sense to utilise the ready-made Moodle course page when new student groups enrol on your course. You do not have to start from scratch, as you can easily copy the materials from the existing course page to your new course page with the Import function. So lighten your workload and read on!
What do I need?
You need an existing Moodle course page and a new blank course page where you copy the existing course materials.
What should I take into account?
You must be logged on as a teacher and be able to access both the existing and the new course page. You do not have to copy all the course materials as you can select the ones you want from a list. The activities you choose will be copied as blank versions without existing student input. This means, for example, that old discussion threads and returned assignments will not be included.
What do I need to do?
When you have created a new Moodle course in Sisu, Peppi, or manually and go to your course for the first time as a teacher, first choose how you will start building your course. If you choose a copy from an old course, by selecting Course library from the Course template dropdown menu, you will see a list of courses where you are a teacher. Select a course from the list or search for it using the search function. Use the Import course button to copy the desired content from the course as the basis for a new course.
