 Hi there today's tech talk is about how to reset your Moodle course Now resetting your Moodle course is not a really complex operation It's just a series of small decisions to make but it's one of those operations that you only do once a term and so Even the simplest processes as you will know if you only do them every so often they kind of leak out of your head You forget how so we have a little step-by-step. You have to do it Go ahead and share my screen here and here we go So I've already in this course shell gone to the administration block and Clicked on reset And that's the page run right now And on this page. I've also already clicked on expand all and On all the sections. I've already clicked on show more So we have all the view of all the options here now when you are resetting your own course shell You may or may not see all these options These are just that's just dependent on whether or not you have a given feature Like for example, if you have choices or you have forms or you have quizzes Turn it in assignments, etc. If you don't have them in your course that won't show up in this in this reset interface So the first thing to show you Basically is under the general tab in general section. I should say under course start date If you click the little question mark You might be interested to see where it says if the courses reset and the course start date changed all dates in the course Will be moved in relation to the new start date. So you have your overall course start date Let's say in this case. We're going to go ahead and make it the start of this coming summer term So we typically recommend that you delete all events notes Comments completion data and blog associations for the use blogs. It's safe to go ahead and check all these boxes here The next section under roles to unenroll users now. This only relates to any Students, let's say that you have enrolled manually for whatever reason this doesn't impact auto enrolled students So we have the auto enroll process That will automatically of course enroll your students and then in one fell swoop at the end of the term after the after each term is over Your LMS admins Eric and I we unenroll all auto enrolled students in one fell swoop this Feature in the course reset to unenroll students only applies if you have any Manually enrolled students in here. So if you don't have any manually enrolled students It won't matter whether you click this or not. So that's one reason we try to shy away from recommending Enrolling students manually because that's one more step to remember to do at the tail end of the term like right here So if you don't have any manually enrolled students and you go ahead and click student I won't hurt anything though. It will just take any out that you may happen to have in there So moving on down. I'm looking at my notes here as we go along. I would say it's going to be a good idea to Delete all grades in the grade book But probably not all items and categories if you have especially if you have grade categories going on You have them there for a reason and you want to maintain those great categories from term to term so we usually don't recommend that what we do recommend deleting all grades because Previous term students earn grades that your future term students aren't going to need So regarding groups you might if you're even if you're not using groups don't worry about that But if you are I would recommend checking the box that says remove all group users And again, if you're using a choices a choice type activity You've got responses in that activity. You can remove all responses right there and so in forums of Course you're probably going to want to delete all forum posts If you want to just specify a different forms in here, but probably a good idea to just delete all forum posts Probably delete all forum subscriptions so that students aren't notified If they happen to have initiated a subscription in a forum They don't you don't want them getting notifications for for forum posts for courses that they took in the past Regarding quizzes we recommend deleting all quiz attempts All user overrides a user override is a is a way to Accommodate let's say an accessibility need student who for example might need one behalf or two times The given time limit for a quiz So if you have the if you have any overrides in a quiz You can delete those overrides for the future term by checking that box right there Course feedback activity we recommend that If you have any certificates recommend that turn it in assignments If you look at the choices here to copy turn it in assignments or to replace them We're recommending copying them so that there's no chance that a previous term student Who completed the course or previous term version of a turn it in assignment? There's no way that a future term student would be Submitting to that previous term turn it in assignment So I would recommend copying turn it in assignments. You can see the explanation here creating duplicates It actually creates a new turn it in class on the turn it inside Of course, if you're not using turn it in you can forgo this whole previous segment on the turn it in assignments So the last piece down here I would recommend under assignments to delete all submissions So that again you're cleaning up the submissions from previous term getting ready for the new term and Of course at the tail end down here You'll see to reset course and that's basically all there is to it So as you can see as I go back up, it's a series of small decisions Probably the one that's going to impact you and save you the most work is this very first one here regarding the course start date And by the way, I'll note that this course start date Don't look at it as look at it as a souped-up version of the course start date You see in your course settings area if you go to your administration block to edit settings You can change the course start date that way, but that doesn't remember what this says here That doesn't change the dates of all the activities in relation to the new date So you that's only what I do that is within the reset process under course start date Any questions or ideas or suggestions on this feel free to walk in call Email us we could answer your specific questions about resetting your motor course. Hopefully this gets you started on the right step Thanks a lot and I'll see you next time
