Resetting a Course

Resetting a course makes it easy for teachers to reuse the same course from one term to the next. The course reset can remove all student accounts and their associated data (e.g. forum postings,
gradebook scores), and reset a course back to its default position. All activities, resources, and course settings are retained (e.g. home page updates, new or edited activities, etc.); however, events added
to the calendar and postings to the Announcements forum are removed from the course. In fact, when resetting a course, teachers can select which course data they would and would not like retained.
Note: When starting a new session with the same course, teachers should not enroll new students until AFTER they have reset the course.
