Using the Sharing Cart


The Sharing Cart is a Block that can be added to any course when Edit Mode is on.

The sharing cart allows users to copy course material from one course to another (with or without user data).

To setup the Sharing Cart:

  1. Toggle Edit Mode on.
  2. Open the Block panel from the right side of the course using the arrow, then click Add a Block.
  3. In the drop down menu, select Sharing Cart from the list of available blocks. (You will need to do this ONCE for each course you want to transfer content between)

To transfer content from your Moodle Course to the Sharing Cart

  1. Click on any item you want to copy to the sharing cart and Drag and Drop it onto the Sharing Cart Block

Moving Item from Sharing Cart to another Course

1. To copy the item from the Sharing Cart to another course, go to the other course.

2. Toggle Edit Mode on.

3. Make sure you see the Sharing Cart block in that course. (If it isn’t there, go back to step 2 in Setting up a Sharing Cart).
