A note on timings for rollover and new courses
The rollover tool is designed to replicate an existing Modular Moodle page or a Programme based Moodle page for the next academic year. Course rollover is usually available from early May once the course categories for the next academic year have been set up on Moodle. Look out for announcements from Digital Education. If you want to roll over a course for the same academic year, you should roll it over by Easter break to ensure the correct Portico mapping. If you have a brand new Module / Programme or other type of Moodle page, then please complete the New course request.
This guide highlights various options to prepare your Moodle courses for the next Academic Year.
If you have any queries, please contact the Digital Education team before changing any content.
Select the option that suits your situation regarding your Moodle Course:
I want to rollover my current (2025/26) Moodle course content, and staff enrolments to a Moodle course for the 2026/27 academic year. | I want to rollover a Moodle course that is read-only, for use in 2026/27 academic year. | I want to rollover my course within the current academic year (e.g. Term 1 and Term 2 versions). | I want a brand-new Moodle course (based on an existing Digital Education baseline template (formerly connected learning baseline template) or departmental template) or a duplicate of an existing course. | I want to rollover my course content to a Moodle course, but I need to discuss options, or am experiencing an issue. |
