Using the Import function, you may quickly copy contents from one module to another.

Items that are copied during the Import process

With a few exceptions (see below), the Import function duplicates everything in a module by default. Resources, activities, and settings will be transferred into your new module with the same structure and organisation as the prior module.

Items that are not copied during the Import process

Enrollments from the copied module, as well as any contributions to Activities made by previous module participants (including students and instructors), will not be copied. This means that the import will exclude any assignment submissions, forum posts, database, groups, groupings and glossary contributions, and wiki information.
