[Moodle] RE: End of Year Course Procedure

[Kevork Krozian]

Hi James,

 We create a new year , new courses, new virtual web location and keep previous years intact.
We use the opportunity to show teachers how to migrate courses - backup, import.
We have struck problems with really big course 500MB and up but have had to dismantle some of the bigger sections manually and then restore.


Kind Regards

Subject: [Moodle] End of Year Course Procedure

Hi All,
                Was wondering what others do with rolling over Moodle courses for each year, as far as some staff wanting to keep previous versions, courses changing (eg Study Design changes), keeping records of students' submitted work etc. As far as I can see there are 2 options I know of:


1.       Reset each course, deleting all student enrolments etc and reuse for following year, keeping the last backup

2.      Create a Hidden Category "2009", and move whole Moodle tree underneath there, so it can be accessed by staff, then re-create courses for 2010, either blank or restoring from backups and resetting

Does anyone else have any other methods, or have a preference of which method you think is the best?

Thanks,
James
