Starting a new semester with Google Classroom and Moodle

If you are teaching a course this semester that you've taught in previous semesters, here's how to set that up in Google Classroom and Moodle.

In Classroom, you have the options of:

• removing all the current students from your (already existing) class, then giving your new students the "Join" link.  Note that there is not a way to hide content in a course, so all of the material will be immediately visible to the new students. 

or:

• archiving the course from last semester, creating a new class, then using "Reuse post" to bring in materials and activities from the archived course(s).

Here is a short screencast that shows the two options.

In Moodle, you will use the same course as you did last semester.  You can hide entire topics or individual items, as needed.  Students are already enrolled.  Students from fall semester will disappear on 1/10/20.
