45 Advantages
46 )))|(((
47 * Existing references (e. g. links from catalogues and course catalogues etc.) do not have to be changed, as the course reference (ID) remains the same.
48 * There are fewer own resources you have to maintain and administer.

50 * When being copied, all course elements and groups are reset to an "original state".

53 Disadvantages
54 )))|(((
55 * Assessment data is retained on existing course elements. If individual participants repeat the course, they have already completed the course element and, depending on the configuration, cannot make a new attempt.
56 * If course elements are deleted, they are no longer available for documentation purposes or have to be saved beforehand.
57 )))|(((
58 * A new course reference is created, which may need to be adapted in other places (course catalogue).
59 * It is necessary to check which course element content has to be maintained manually.
60 * References to learning content (wiki, podcast) are set to the same resources and may need to be changed.
