Reuse a Past Course

It is possible to reuse the materials, format, and setup of a previously created Moodle course. If moving content between different Moodle sites, you can create a backup file of the old course and restore the backup file to a new, empty course shell. If you need to move content from one Moodle course to another on the same Moodle site, you can import a previous course to save significant time with course prep.

LITS staff recommend creating a backup file of each of your courses at the end of the semester/term and retaining them for future use.
