Importing Material from Another Course

There are two ways to import course data from another course: The Import feature and theĀ Backup and Restore features.

The Import feature is the easier of the two and it will only import activities and resources from another course. It will NOT import student or teacher data, such as forum posts and discussions. It also does not import section headings, labels, graphics or HTML blocks from the source course page.

Backup and Restore is the ONLY method to import course material from the Moodle Archive server. Rarely would you use this feature on the same server (unless you are literally creating an exact duplicate of the course with students and associated data.)

**If you are importing content from the SAME Moodle server and If your goal is only to reuse some of the content you’ve used before on Moodle, use the Import feature.
