The sharing cart allows one-click backup of any course resource or activity, which then appears in the block on the side of the course, and one-click restore to another course on the same site (the same block with the same saved activities is visible in every course you go to).

As part of the community hub development, discussion has emerged around the idea of being able to cherry-pick single resources or activities shared on remote courses rather than importing the whole course. The sharing cart offers an ideal interface for this and hides all of the long-winded backup process that will put people off if they just want a single item.

To be able to get a document, a quiz or an assignment with two clicks would revolutionise the way people collaborate in sharing teaching resources, potentially turning Moodle into a killer application for schools interested in collaboration.
