  • This includes rollover at the end of an academic year, e.g., importing material from 19-20 modules into 20-21 modules.
  • You will need Editing Teacher (or higher) access to both courses.
  • You can import from archived modules even though you can't edit them, so long as you have editing teacher access to both modules.

You may see a message that you cannot import from some modules (below). This is because you do not have access to them.

Once you have access to that module you can try the process again and you will be able to select it.

7. On the Include screen, select None then start ticking items you want (you must also tick the Section/Topic it’s in (or untick anything you don’t want). Always untick Turnitin Assignments and Moodle Assignments which cannot be copied.  If you plan to import everything, or most items from last year, click All to tick all of these. (It is important to untick anything you don’t want - which is everything else: by unticking a Section/Topic you will automatically untick everything in that section)
