Instructors can save a copy of a Moodle course by creating a "backup" file containing all course activities, formatting, and resources (i.e., readings, files, links, etc.) and storing it on a computer or network drive. Backups are saved in a compressed .mbz file format that can only be opened by restoring it into another Moodle course. Backups are useful for creating and storing archival copies of old Bryn Mawr Moodle courses that are scheduled for removal from our servers (see the College's Moodle Policy). You can also backup a course created on another Moodle site to upload the content into a Bryn Mawr Moodle course. Before you start, you will need: Moodle Archive is our old Moodle site, containing academic courses from Fall 2017 through Summer 2020. (The site is a bright purple to alert people that is no longer current, but the pictures below are blue for better contrast.) Note: You will only be able to log into Moodle Archive if you had a Bryn Mawr Moodle account in July 2020, have a working Bryn Mawr or Haverford username and password, and can log in from campus or via the College VPN. If you have difficulty, please contact the Help Desk for assistance. If you have any additional questions or problems, don't hesitate to reach out to the Help Desk!
