== Why should I do this? ==
In many cases, course resources can be re-used from year-to-year, and Schoology has a easy, organized way to do just that. To copy course content from one course into another (ex. for a new school year), you first need to archive it and then restore it. Saving a course to '''''My Resources''''' (archiving it) makes a snapshot of all the assignments, quizzes, discussions, pages, and resources in a particular course and allows you to import that content to other Schoology courses you might be creating.
The general process is as follows:
# Setup a new '''''Collection''''' to keep your resources organized
# Save your old course materials to '''''My Resources'''''
# Edit your course materials from '''''My Resources''''' if needed
# Add Material from '''''My Resources''''' into your new Schoology courses
