Chapter 7. End of Year Course Rollover

In the previous chapter, we looked at how to add and manage plugins on your Moodle site. The next question that administrators have to handle is how to deal with courses and course content, where one intake of students has finished, and the site needs to be prepared for a fresh intake of students. This process needs to be planned, agreed, and implemented among administrators, teachers, and other relevant stakeholders.

In this context, stakeholders refer to all interested parties in the learning management system including faculties, departments, student bodies such as student unions, IT departments, and learning units.

In this chapter, we deal with the essential areas of the end of year course rollover management that every administrator will have to deal with, as follows:

  • Agreeing on a rollover procedure
  • End of course final backup
  • Course restore
  • Course reset
