What is it?

The Sharing Cart is a block for duplicating course items into a personal library and an easy way to move those Moodle resources and activities between multiple courses. With just four clicks, the Sharing Cart copies and moves a single course item from one course to another. It copies without user data—similar to the “Import” function on Moodle.  In addition, items can be collected and saved on the Sharing Cart, serving as a library of frequently used course items available for duplication. The Sharing Cart is viewable only by course administrators and tutors.

Why use it?

• Move a resource or activity quickly and easily between two Moodle courses.
• Move a section of content quickly and easily between two Moodle courses.
• Save content in a personal library to copy onto multiple courses as required.
