Hi,

I am a longtime fan of moodle (http://www.aylesburylife.org/), my boss is coming round to the idea too.

What I would like to make life efficient and easy to create new courses is for any resources or activities I make to have:

+ a copy_as_new_to_any_position icon

+ (alongside the move_to_any_position_icon)

+ in edit mode

because there are lots of activities and resources I create that follow a very similar script with minor changes to edit, such as file name, name of activity, etc.... At the moment I am thinking the work around is as follows (but I have not tried it yet).

WORKAROUND: Try appending a restored template_course onto the end of the one I am editing - the idea being the backup template_course contains examples of all the activities I use scripted as I use them. Then use the move_to_any_position icon to place new activitiy(ies) where I want it (them), and make any minor editing changes necessary.

I guess this won't happen overnight although I think it would be hugely attractive for all.

There may also be a better workaround I haven't thought of yet...?

Regards,

Joc
