Copy exams, test, quizzes, and other activities to another course

To copy particular items, such as assignments, quizzes, or PDF files, from one course into another course, use the Moodle Import tool. To import an entire course, see the  "Transfer, move or copy a course from a prior term" article or the "Transfer, move or copy a course from another instructor" article for help.

When copying individual items between Moodle courses, please note:

  • Copied items will include settings such as due dates and grade settings, but will not include student submissions to activities, such as Forum posts or Glossary contributions.
  • Copied items will need to be checked for Group settings and Restrict Access settings.
