Moodle: Administration: Import Materials from Another Instructor's Course

How to Import Materials from another Instructor's Course

The steps below outline the process of how an instructor of a course can import materials from a colleague's course.

1. Instructor A (the colleague providing the course content) will need to request a Master Course (See GROK Article 18456) and import their course materials into that Master Course.  (See Moodle: How to Import All Materials into a Course).

NOTE: Instructor A can alternatively use the Selective Import feature to select specific content to import. (see Moodle: Selective Import Content from Other Moodle Courses).

2. Once the content is in the Master Course, Instructor A should manually enroll Instructor B (receiving the content) into the Master Course using the "Guest Instructor" role. (see GROK Article 18367).

3. Instructor B then has two options: 

• Create a backup of the Master Course, then import all materials into their own course from that backup or overwrite their course. 

• Use the selective import feature to select specific content to import.
