Course compile allows you to compile specific parts of a course either to your screen or to a PDF file. You are able to pick and choose which parts of the course you’d like to compile.

For information on saving course content, including documents, assignment submissions, and other personal contributions such as forum posts, please refer to this article on saving your coursework.

Here are some examples of why you might want to use course compile:

• Combine every part of the course that lists assignment descriptions
• Print off a schedule
• Combine all readings into a single document
• View course materials offline

Use course compile when you’d like to consolidate resources from the course into a single file.

There are some potential downsides to using course compile that you should be aware of:

• This course compile represents a snapshot of the course components at the present, while the course is dynamic and may receive updates after the course compile.
• Activities and resources that have access restricted will not be included in the compile (e.g., a section may not be available until a certain time).
• Some course content will not be included in the course compile. This includes, but is not limited to, the following:
  • All files, such as Word, PDF, or PowerPoint.
  • Videos and audio.
  • H5P content.
  • Quiz questions. Quiz description will be included.
• The following Moodle activities, including their descriptions, will not be included in the course compile:
  • Choice
  • Database
  • Group Choice
  • Lesson
  • Workshop
  • Zoom
• Student-generated content in forum posts, wiki content, glossary submissions, and database submissions will not be included in the compile.
