Cloning modules on Learn

When updating your Learn modules, has the following thought occurred to you:
I need to find a way of somehow cloning my Learn sites ABC101 and ABC102 since they are basically the same course, bar the assessment.
That’s exactly the query that came through to learn@lboro yesterday. Here’s the response from the Learn team:
What we can do is create a parent module that has ABC101 and ABC102 as child modules.
We’d create the new module on Learn and call it something like:
ABC1012META
The content that should be shared across the two modules will go in the new META module, while the assessments should sit in the respective child modules.
We can create this new module and clone all of the content from ABC101 into the new META module then delete the content from ABC101.
The students will have an extra module in their module list so you should advise them to use the META module for
resource and communication and then the other child modules for assessment hand-ins. If you’re faced with a similar situation, and it sounds as if this approach would work for you, get in touch with learn [at] lboro.ac.uk .
