Use course again

How can I prepare the course to use it again next term or year?

If you are planning to use a course again in a future term, be sure and check that any dates you have set in the course are unset or updated. This can be a sources of confusion when you later copy a course that have old dates set in it.

Specifically check these settings:

Recommended Settings Where in Control Panel > Settings
Set Course Duration to Continuous > > Course Duration
Uncheck Course Enrollment dates > > Course Enrollment Options
  1. Check File Date Restrictions
  2. Also, for any files you have uploaded that you set date restrictions on, be sure and take them off now, otherwise when you copy the course, the files will have the old dates on them, and you and or your future students will not be able to see them. You should uncheck any such date restrictions.

How to Check for File Date Restrictions

  1. To do this, in the Control Panel, choose the link for the Content Area the file is in, e.g. Course Information, Course Documents, etc.
  2. To the right of the file, click the Modify button:

  4. Then go down to Section 3, Options to reset or uncheck the dates altogether:
