There are two different ways to duplicate a Learnlist: Mirroring or Duplicating.
There are two different ways to duplicate a Learnlist. This article will explain both ways and the difference between the two options.
Where do I go to duplicate a Learnlist?
Go to the ‘Manage Learnlists’ page:
Select the ‘three pips’ of the Learnlist you'd like to duplicate:
Option 1: Create mirror Learnlist
If you create a mirror Learnlist, this will only duplicate the original Learnlist.
The new mirror Learnlist will contain exactly the same Items as the original Learnlist.
This means that whatever permanent changes you make to the original Learnlist (e.g. adding new Items, deleting Items, renaming Items, etc.), these changes will also occur to the mirror Learnlist.
E.g. If the original Learnlist has 10 Items and you delete an Item so that it has 9 Items, the new mirror Learnlist will now also have 9 Items.
In summary: whatever permanent changes are made to the original Learnlist, the exact same changes will also happen to the new mirror Learnlist.
Option 2: Duplicate Learnlist and clone each Item
This option will duplicate both the Learnlist and each of its individual Items.
i.e. Documents, Quizzes, Items, Surveys, Events, and e-learning packages will all be duplicated.
What does this mean?
This means that any changes you make to the original Learnlist will not occur in the new duplicated Learnlist.
E.g. If you delete Items from the original Learnlist, these Items will remain in the new duplicated Learnlist.
E.g. If you rename Items in the original Learnlist, the original names will remain in the new duplicated Learnlist.
In summary: The two Learnlists will be completely independent of each other, and changes made in one will not occur in the other.
Reporting on the completion of Learnlists:
Mirrored Learnlist:
Items within a mirrored Learnlist will only be reported as completed once.
So even though there are two Items, you will only see the completion of one Item as it is the same Item.
Duplicated Learnlist:
If you complete a Learnlist that has been duplicated, if you complete one Learnlist, the other Learnlist will not be marked as completed.
