Copy a module

In this article: How to duplicate a module within the same course or copy it to a different course, bringing all its lessons and content along.

All Plans

Copying a module saves you from rebuilding content you've already created. You might copy a module within the same course to use it as a starting point for a new section, or copy it to a different course entirely to reuse your best material across programs.

When you copy a module, all the lessons inside it come along automatically. The original module stays exactly as it is.

Copy a module to the same course

Open your course and go to Manage Course → Modules & Lessons.
Click the module title (shown in blue) to open the module settings.
Click Copy module.
In the course list that appears, select Current (it's at the top of the list).
(Optional) Edit the module title if you want to rename the copy.
Wait for the "Copy complete" message. You can click View copied module to jump to it, or close the dialog and keep working.

Click the module title, then click Copy module

Select the destination course for the copy

The copied module appears at the bottom of your course outline. Drag it to the position you want.

Copy a module to a different course

Open the course that contains the module you want to copy.
Go to Manage Course → Modules & Lessons.
Click the module title (shown in blue) to open the module settings.
Click Copy module.
In the course list, search for or scroll to the destination course and select it.
Wait for the "Copy complete" message.

Select the destination course from the list

The copy complete confirmation message

After copying, you can open the destination course to find the module at the bottom of its outline. From there, rearrange and edit the copy as needed.

Tip: If you want to reuse multiple modules across courses, you can also copy an entire course and then remove the modules you don't need.

What gets copied

When you copy a module, Ruzuku duplicates:

The module title and settings
All lessons inside the module
Lesson content (text, videos, audio, files, embedded content)
Discussion prompts attached to lessons
Assessment/assignment configurations

The copy is independent of the original. Changes you make to one won't affect the other.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I copy individual lessons instead of a whole module?

Yes. You can copy a single lesson within the lesson editor. See Copy a lesson for details.

Will student progress or enrollment carry over when I copy a module?

No. The copy is a fresh duplicate of the content only. Student progress, enrollment, and discussion posts stay with the original module in the original course.

Can I copy a module from someone else's course?

You can only copy modules from courses you own or have admin access to. On Ruzuku Pro, site admins can copy courses between accounts, which includes all modules.
