Allow Another Instructor to Copy Your Moodle Course

figo

Last Update 3 năm trước

Note: When course contents are copied into a new Moodle course, student enrollment and contributions to the course (such as discussion posts, wiki or database contributions, etc.) are NOT included.
To do so you can create a backup of your Moodle course with Moodle backup function and send the created backup files to the other instructor. Then they can restore Moodle (.mbz) backup files into their Moodle course in the new system. To do so please see instructions on how to make and manage Moodle (.mbz) Backup Files.

Once you have shared your Backup file with the other instructor, they can Restore a Course in Moodle in the Cloud. The instructor will then have the ability to import a complete copy of the course structure and content into a derivative Moodle course that they will have the ability to modify to the full technical extent provided by Moodle.

Please note: When you give permission by sharing a Moodle backup file with another instructor, you should clearly communicate with your colleague the specific rights you are granting them--ideally in writing, such as an email. You should also be clear about what content in the course is not yours, and if you have received permission to use it, or if you are relying on fair use.

Examples of rights you can assign and how to describe them in your communications:

  • No limits: “You have permission to use my materials on an ongoing basis, alter them, and share them with whomever you like.”
  • For a limited time: “You have permission to use my course materials only for the semesters when I am away on sabbatical.”
  • Non transferable: “I am giving you permission to reuse my materials, but please do not share them with other instructors or use them at another institution.”
  • No alterations: “You have permission to use my materials, but please use them as is and without making substantial changes to the content.”
  • Citation: “You have permission to use my materials, but please credit me as the author.”
  • Other creators' materials used with permission: “The following items I am using with permission of the creator. Please contact them if you wish to use these materials in your course.”
  • Other creators' materials used under fair use: “The following items I am using under fair use, but I cannot assess whether they would be fair use for you.
