32. Course restore in Moodle 3.3 Video Lecture | Moodle: Create Personalized Online Class - Professional Skills

Course restore: upload your course to
Moodlecloud.
It's possible to save the
course you've made on one Moodle site
and reuse it on a different Moodle site.
When you save your course, the process is
called 'backup' and when you add it or
upload it to a different site
the process is called 'restore'.
In this
video, we'll look at how you can restore
the practice course you made during our
Learn Moodle MOOC into your own personal
MoodleCloud site.
You can also restore
your course to the Moodle site of your
school or organszation, but the way you
do it may be different, so you need to
check with your administrator first.
Make
sure you saved or backed up your
practice course using the video on
course backup to help you.
Make sure you
have it in a safe place on your computer.
Our teacher Sam has her practice course
on her desktop here, and she's logged
into her Moodle cloud site where she's
an administrator.
You may not be an administrator on your
organisation's Moodle site and that's
why you should ask for their advice if
you want to restore your practice course
there.
We click Site administration in the nav
drawer
find Courses and click Restore course.
We
can then import the backup file, either
by clicking the button to upload it, or
as our teacher Sam is doing here,
dragging and dropping it in.
When we
click the Restore button we're prompted to
check the backup details and we scroll
down and click Continue.
Note how it appears we are doing in
reverse what we did when we backed up
the course previously.
On the next screen
we decide if we want to add this is a
new course or into an existing course.
Again you might experience this
differently if you're restoring to your
organisation's Moodle site and you don't
have administrator rights.
If we restore
it as a new course we need to choose the
category.
Our teacher only has one
category, Miscellaneous, on her MoodleCloud
at the moment so she clicks
that button.
Clicking Continue then takes
us to another screen to check the
settings and we press Next again.We can
move through this quickly because we've
already checked the settings.
We can edit
the name and details of the course and
decide which activities to keep.
We move
on again; we do a final check and then
press Perform restore.
Once the process is complete, there is a
green success message and Sam's
practice course from Learn Moodle is now
available on her MoodleCloud site.
