How can I copy my course or part of it?

There are several ways. These methods can be used to store any activity as a template. For example, a teacher might want to duplicate an assignment for different groups that will appear under different weeks in the same course. Or take a Lesson in one course and use it in another course.

Import course data
Importing course data is probably the most straightforward. It brings in any other courses material by activity group. For example, you can import all of the lessons from one course you have rights to into another, but not just a single lesson.

Use backup to duplicate or copy
Backing up a course. Each version of Moodle has different options for backing up. The basic process in copying a course, is to create a backup and then select “new course” when restoring that backup.
Understand what options you DO and DO NOT need to backup, so your copy has just what it needs. For example, you may not want to see any student information or files in your new course, so don’t back those up.

Version 1.6 backup process has lots of boxes to check or uncheck next to every activity and resource that is in the course. Version 1.5.3 has a list of activity types to select for inclusion in a backup.

One of the old tricks in 1.5.3 and earlier version, is to restore the old course to a new course. Then edit down the new course to just the activities you want.

Want the same activity in 5 courses you already created? Create a backup of a course that only contains the activity you want. Now restore that course by selecting the option “add to existing course, keep data”, repeat it for every one of your 5 courses.
Here is the MoodleDoc page Course Backup that will give you more details.
