The Moodle import function allows course editors to import resources and activities from one course to another.
Some courses may share the same content (e.g. module handbooks), so this process may save you time if you manage a number of courses.
All course admins and tutors, providing they have edit access to both courses
The Import function will import items into the same topics as they appeared in the original course. If you need to move them around once the import is complete, use the arrow icon to the right of any items to drag them up or down the page.
(If you have edit rights on a lot of courses, you may need to use the Search courses feature instead)
Once your import is complete you will see an 'Import complete' message. Click Continue to return to the course homepage. Finally, don't forget to rearrange the activities that you have imported, find out how by visiting 'Move items within or between sections'.
Further guidance on the Import function is available from Moodle Docs.
If you find any inaccurate or missing information you can even update this yourself (it's a communal wiki).
If you have a specific question about the tool please contact the Digital Education team.
The import process must not be used for Turnitin assignments, Zoom sessions or Lecturecast links. Doing so will cause problems on both the parent and child course you copy from.
