Moodle: Blocks: CPS: Request a Blueprint Course

Instructors can use a blueprint course to streamline course creation and maintain consistency across sections. Students are not enrolled in blueprint courses, so any content will need to be transferred to a teaching course before students can access it. Only one blueprint course per course number per instructor is allowed.*

For information about how to restore or import content into any Moodle course, see GROK article #20178: Moodle: Ways to Restore or Import Content into a Course.

To Initiate a Blueprint Course Creation Request:

1. Log in to Moodle.
    
2. Click on Blueprint Course in the Course Preferences block at the bottom of the front page of Moodle.
   • If you do not see the Course Preferences block, you can add it via the following article: Moodle: Course Tools: Adding a Block

3. Check the box next to any courses for which you want blueprint courses created.
   
   Note: If you have previously checked the box next to a course and you remove the checkmark, you will be removed from that blueprint course when you save. If you then re-check the box next to the course, you will be added back as primary instructor if that blueprint course has not been deleted.

4. Click the Save changes button.

*If you want a blueprint course for a course that does not appear on the request form, for an LSU Online program course, or a 5 week summer course contact the Faculty Technology Center to request that it be created manually.
