[ARCHIVED] Can't copy Modules from last semester

[rmcateer]

Hello. I would like to share and copy course modules from my spring 2020 classes, but the access to those functions is no longer showing. The three dots for this feature are missing from all my modules and pages: 

Can you advise?

Thank you,

Have you tried it from the course pages?  In my experience, you can't share the modules, but you can share other content such as pages and quizzes.  The other option would be to go to the course's settings and do an import or export.  If you don't want the entire course, you can just select specific content that you do want.

Hi there,

Thanks for such a quick response.

I was able to import/export a module two weeks ago by using this function:

But now those 3 dots in the upper left are gone from all the modules in my courses. And under settings, I only have the option to export quizzes or the entire course. When I exported the course it wouldn't open.

Thoughts?

Sorry, and I'd like to share modules or the course with a specific instructor.

Then, what the next best thing to do would be to add the instructor as a teacher to the course.

Between-instructors migration, I suggest course commons, make a commons of this module, your colleague can find it there and import to his course. Be careful if your commons contains quizzes in New Quiz format, esp, created with question banks.

I'm confused as to why the three dots, that allow "Copy" and "Send", have disappeared. They were there just a couple of weeks ago.

The Direct Share feature is for assignments, discussions, and quizzes.  

Here's info from  @Chris_Hofer ‌ on how to copy a module from one course to another.

This is an easy process using the Course Import Tool to select specific content.  As you carry out the steps in the link I'll provide, make sure you are logged in to the course where you will be copying the modules into...not the course where the modules currently live.  How do I select specific content as part of a course import?

Please let Community members know if you have any questions about this.  Take care...be well...stay safe.
