Add one or multiple modules to multiple courses

Question

I need to add a course module (assign for example) to a list of existing courses. There are too many courses for doing this in each one of them. I haven't found a way to do it through moodle interface. Is there any function in Moodle API that allows to do that? Or should I do that through database?

My guess is that I need to add one module as a reference and copy it to other courses.

Answer 1

Try installing moosh

For example, to add an assign activity to a course with id 2
