Moodle

Create a "Bulk course action" menu, allowing several operations (backup, delete, reset, change settings...)

  • Affected Branches:
    MOODLE_25_STABLE

Description

As we have a bulk user action, allowing several operations, i think it would be really useful to have a "Bulk course actions" menu in "Site Administration > Course", allowing to select several courses, and then make some actions on them.

Actions could be : delete, backup (choosing options), reset (choosing options), change settings (start date, format, max file size, availability, language...)

These are just some examples, there could be other uses.
It would also be good if these actions could be achived by cli.

Some actions that could be done bulk.

We could also think of (un)enrolling students (or other role) on selected courses.

Bulk delete would be very useful. We plan archive old courses in other machine and preserve 2 years on production. This option, by interface or command line would be nice!

Please as note MDL-13114 which was integrated last week allowing much of this to be achieved with csv files.
