How to Duplicate/Clone a Course

The ability to efficiently manage and repurpose course content is a game-changer. In LearnWorlds, you can effortlessly duplicate an already-created course and even choose to sync the course and course layout page between schools within the same Organization or the same school. This provides a convenient way to reuse and repurpose your valuable content.


In this article, we will learn how to clone a course within the same school or import a course between multiple LearnWorlds schools under the same organization


Examples/Use Cases:

  • Replicate a course within the same school for different audiences.
  • Use the same course structure for a new subject by editing content.
  • Sync course content between schools to offer similar training.
  • Quickly create course variations without starting from scratch.
  • Duplicate a course template to maintain consistent branding across courses.

Clone/Duplicate a Course Across a School

To clone a course across a LearnWorlds school:

1. Navigate to Courses   Course manager.

2. Hover over the course you wish to duplicate and click on Clone course. 

3. Provide a title and a friendly URL for your new course.

4. Define if the new course will keep in sync with the source course. You can also choose to sync the course and course layout page. 

You can anytime change the Course URL as described here.


Notes: 

  • Use a unique URL, not the same one as the original. After the duplication, the new course will be in Draft mode, so you can navigate to the course's Access tab and change its status as you wish. 
  • If the original course has enabled the drip-feed option, you need to set it again for the cloned course.
  • The newly cloned course will not have any users enrolled in it.
  • All videos uploaded to the original course's video library will be cloned if they are used in an activity. Videos that are uploaded to the library but not used in any activity will not be synced.
  • Automations linked to a course will not be copied when the course is cloned.
  • In case of a large course duplication, the process completes asynchronously while you can keep working on your school. In this case, the following notification appears.


Import (Clone) a Course between Multiple LearnWorlds schools

To import/clone courses from one school to another, log in to the destination school. From your admin dashboard:


1. Navigate to Courses  Course Manager  Import Course.

2. Select the originating school and the specific courses you wish to import. You can select multiple courses with the “Custom list…” option.

3. Choose whether the selected courses will remain in sync with the source courses, and choose to sync course contents and course layout page.

4. Click on Import.

  • When you clone/duplicate a course between schools, any assessment variables added will not work in the cloned course. You will need to add the variables again.
