Unfortunately, there's no automatic way to reuse an existing course.

However, you can:

1) Create a new course (2 minutes)
2) Give the previous teacher in the old course teacher's rights for the new course (2 minutes)
3) Add all the new learners to the new course (depending on the number of students but you can use the spreadsheets and it will take a few seconds)
4) Let the teacher add all the new lessons using the existing sequences (again, depending on the number of lessons -but a minute per each).

Thanks,

Ernie

I would definitely suggest *not* to do changes on the database as LAMS uses application level cache. So if you change stuff on the DB, LAMS might not know out about it unless you specifically manually flush the cache (see the LAMS sysadmin section).

There are webservices you can use to create courses, create lessons and register users you can use... (see the integrations code) but then that might not be what you are after.

Thanks,

Ernie

I only delete the data that the learner completed a course in the DB, not to modify its structure, it may not associated with the cache?
