Import resources/activities from one Moodle site to another

If you would like to reuse resources or activities from another course you’ve taught or are teaching, you can use the IMPORT function in the Administration block.

1. Go to the course website you’d like to import to (i.e., New course site)
2. Click ‘Import’ in the Administration menu
3. Select the course you’d like to import from. You have three options here. You can choose from the courses you’ve taught (Click ‘Use this course’) or search it by typing the course title (Click ‘Search courses’).
4. Click ‘Continue’ (Uncheck the materials you don’t want to transfer)
5. Click ‘Continue’ until the process is over
6. Check if any link is broken. Video Furnace links normally expire after one quarter. If you want to keep using the videos, make a request to OID
(http://www.oid.ucla.edu/spotlight/oid/videofurnace)
7. Adjust the setting if necessary

Bug Note: Summaries are not properly imported unless moodle is patched. Workaround this is to substitute labels for descriptive text or graphics as labels are counted as resources.
