Sharing and reusing Moodle learning content using backup and restore, part III: Shared intermediate courses

2012/01/03 1 comment
  1. You can facilitate the sharing process if you link source and destination Moodle courses via a Moodle course that is itself shared between the teachers (= all teachers can backup from or restore/import into this shared course), but not to students.
  2. By backing up to and restoring from such a shared Moodle course, you can more easily inspect the shared course content than
    1. if you’d import into the destination course to inspect,
    2. or either inspect the unzipped XML of the Moodle course backed-up content format, like here:
      1. moodle-backup-xml-in-excel
      2. which can be a daunting perspective on your content:
      3. moodle-backup-xml-in-excel1
      4. A little more instructive are the Moodle course export file columns in a handy list, with sample content (where available in our case – sample content does not represent an actual “row”, but merges multiple “rows”, using Excel’s “Paste Special’/ “Skip blanks”):
      5. As you can see, there are fewer than 254 column (meaning you can even load this into Excel <2007), and apparently you get to actual teaching content already on nesting level 3.

How to set up a Deepfreeze scheduled maintenance window using Embedded Events

deepfreeze scheduled maintenance window using  Embedded Events

Embedded events are stored on the clients, so do not require the server to run and be able to communicate with the clients to run the event. Don’t forget to select the clients you want to send the embedded event to. Result: deepfreeze scheduled maintenance window using  Embedded Events result

Sharing and reusing Moodle learning content using backup and restore, part I: Backup

2011/12/15 4 comments

To reuse your own content, you can import. To use somebody else’s content, the other user can backup his content (even though not shown below, a subset of the content of a course can be chosen) and share (by downloading the file created within the course file area) the backup file with you (a zip-archive that contains an xml file), for the other user to restore. Like so:   backup1 backup2a backup3a backup4a backup5abackup6backup7backup8

Sharing and reusing Moodle learning content using backup and restore, part II: restoring

Here I am restoring the backup I made from a different user’s Moodle course in part 1:backup, to add the learning content to my own target course:

restore-uploadrestore-menu-itemrestore-upload1restore-upload2 restore-upload3 restore-upload4 restore-upload5 restore-upload6 restore-upload7 restore-upload8 restore-upload9 restore-upload10

Now how can we scale this collaboration on Moodle learning content without an erepository?
