Sharing Moodle Courses - MoodleCommons.org
If you are willing to share your Moodle courses under the CreativeCommons license, then you can upload entire courses to MoodleCommons.org. Just backup your course and create a link to it within the course. This way guests can browse the course and download the zip file to host it on their own Moodle servers.
If you're not familiar with restoring courses, the best way to do it is to navigate to an empty course, upload your course backup file and then click on restore and select new course when prompted.

Paul, educators in Texas are looking at designing and sharing courses via Moodle. Is there a standard for course design that we could all follow to ensure some uniformity or is that just nuts?

Good question Miguel!
I've seen all kinds of courses with varying degrees of structure and polish. Just getting folks to cite resources and follow copyright laws is a start and difficult chore. Moodle itself lends structure in that there is a limited number of resource types and activities a teacher can add. I think we're still in the Wild Wild West though where uniformity is concerned. Buy hey, you have to start somewhere!

After many conversations with wonderful educators dedicated to digital learning I think I stumbled on a missing piece of the pie. Since an amazing amount of content is being created and re-created for digital learning I thought it might be appropriate to facilitate a free exchange of Moodle courses to foster greater communication and sharing in the digital world.
A place for Moodlers to share their Moodles, Courses, Lessons, and Lesson Plans.

Frank,
You can use the import feature when you are logged into a course to pick and choose what resources and activities you would like to take from other courses you have taught on the same Moodle site.
You can also restore a course and only choose which activities you would like to bring with you to the new course. When it is time to restore, you would pick an existing course and then choose "existing course, add data" Here is the link to Moodle Docs for more details:
