The Course Life Cycle (CLC) rollover tool creates a duplicate Moodle course based on an existing one, without any student content such as posts, assignment submissions, etc.
It allows the alignment with the next iteration of that course in Portico (but will not add any students at the point of the rollover).
When you have rolled over the course, you will have two separate courses (such as ABCD001_22-23 and ABCD0001_23-24) with different start dates date and end datesdate.
New rolled-over courses are hidden from students.
This process replaces the yearly snapshot, and reset process, and allows all Moodle courses to remain on in one site.
Who does the rollover?
...
You simply need to know which course you want to roll over rollover to the next academic year and which Portico module delivery(ies) the module aligns to. This will be used to configure your course while it’s being rolled over.
It would also be beneficial for you to have the new academic year's Course's course start and end dates to hand, so that the course appears in the correct place (Past/Present/Future) in your navigation in Moodle, once rolled over.
...
Zoom meetings, LTI (Learning Tools Interoperability) links, Reading List/Library block, and Common Timetable Block does do not get rolled over into the new Moodle course.
Please review the checklist page M30f - Updating and checking your course, ready for use this academic year for a comprehensive list of items to review after you have completed the rollover.
The Advanced Forum is not a core Moodle activity, so will also not be rolled over. Please manually add these to the new course, after rollover.

How to roll over rollover a course from 2022/23 to 2023/24?
- Access the course you want to roll over.
- In the course settings, select Click More in the tab menu at the top of the site, then click Course Rollover.
The Course Rollover tool will take you through a series of steps to confirm information about the course you are rolling over.Step One - Alignment
This step allows the tool to identify the data from Portico for the course you want to
roll overrollover.
Select the Alignment Type for your Course – Module or , Programme or Miscellaneous.
This This will automatically select the correct category for your course to be rolled over to.
Info The first page will ask you to identify its category alignment. In this initial release, you will be able to align your course with:
- Module(s) – Those courses that align with one or more Module deliveries. This means your module will be located in the Moodle category with all the other modules for the course.
- Programme(s) – Those courses that align with a Programme or Route code. This means your course will be located in the Programme's Moodle category for the Programme, with all the other Programme-level pages.
- Miscellaneous/Supplementary resource – Those courses usually align with one of several Programme or Route codes. This means your course will be located in the Moodle category for 'Miscellaneous'.
Warning Do not select 'Programme' if your course only aligns with to Module delivery code(s). This would lead to having no suggested data in the next screen 'Course Data'. (see below)
The tool will suggest the SITS-based names and codes based on your module(s) alignments or your programme(s)/route(s) alignments.
- Under 'Alignments with Portico deliveries', you are presented with a proposed delivery alignment for next year, based on current mappings of your course (if you have mappings in the Portico Block). This does not map students' student enrolments.
Check whether a module/programme delivery was previously aligned with to your course.
You must select a delivery alignment for the rollover tool to work. Review the suggested alignments. Ensure the year in the suggested alignment year is 2023.
If the Suggested alignmentInfo The Course Rollover tool will show the Module Deliveries that “may” be currently associated with the course, and will do its best to auto - suggest the next academic year 's equivalent Module deliveries.These alignments are the same as you would see in our Portico Enrolment Tool, however, in this context, the alignments are NOT being used for enrolment and will not have any effect on the membership of your course as they still require mapping activation from within the Portico Enrolment Tool. .png?version=1&modificationDate=1690800045000&cacheVersion=1&api=v2&height=400 "Screen shot of suggest delivery alignments section")
- If this is not correct, or you need to align to multiple module deliveries, use the Search box to find your module delivery(ies) or programme entities from Portico (if your course is not aligned to a Portico module, but a programme or department).
- Select the module/programme alignment(s) required. Ensure the year in the suggested alignment year is 2023.
- Select the Click the Next button.
Step Two - Course Data
This step confirms course dates, naming and category location in Moodle.
On this screen, you see a summary of the configuration for your Current course and the Rolled-over course you are about to create.
The tool will auto-populate the fields from available information within Moodle/Portico, and based on the information you provided in the previous screen.
.png?version=3&modificationDate=1690801369000&cacheVersion=1&api=v2&height=400 "Screen shot of course data for rolled over course")
Check the course start and end date. This is important as it will determine if your course appears in the dashboard 's Course Overview's 'past', 'in progress' or 'future' filters within the My courses tab in Moodle.
The suggestion is taken from the module delivery data in Portico.
You can change the current course’s start and end date.Note If the course start
dateand end date change in future, you can still change them in the Moodle Course Settings for the course.

The tool uses the alignment you previously selected and also highlights the Moodle category that the course will be rolled over , tooto.Info You also have the an option to amend the Course full/short names as well as a Course ID number. We do not recommend you change this unless you are making multiple copies of the same Moodle course (see M30c - Duplicating a Moodle course within the academic year).
Note If the rolled-over course already existsexist, you will have an error message as you cannot have a source with the same namingname/title. Check (and amend if incorrect) the rolled-over course start and end date.
Info Going forward with future developments, course end and start dates will be highly important, as they will be triggers for automated activities within Moodle.
It is important to remember that only courses that fall within a current start/end date will be displayed by default on the Moodle Dashboard My courses tab as this displays “In Progress” courses by default.- When you are ready, click on the ‘the Schedule rollover’ button button.
