Activities
Activities are interactive items of content that you can add to a course. Unlike resources (which tend to be passive content items) activities encourage participation from Learners and other course users - whether that be making a post, submitting an assignment, casting a vote, or another interaction.
Resources
Resources tend to be passive content items that are useful for distributing information. They are normally added to the course by a Trainer or Site Administrator and then accessed by Learners (or other Trainers). There is a wide range of different resource types available in Totara Learn which can add depth to your courses.
Manage activities
This lists the course page activity and resource plugins currently installed and allows you to change the settings of the plugins.
Editing activities and resources

Totara Academy
The Totara Academy has a program specifically for Course Creators in Totara Learn. In this program you can find a number of courses covering how to use various course activities and resources, see best practice, and give them a go yourself.
Using the catalogue
The Grid Catalogue is enabled by default within all new installations of Totara Learn v12 onwards. To use the Category or Report (previously known as the Enhanced Catalogue) display for your catalogue, go to Advanced features within the Site administration menu and select the desired option from the Catalogue type setting.
Explore content marketplace
When viewing the catalogue as a site administrator or course creator, and where a Content Marketplace has been enabled, a link to Explore Content Marketplace is provided.
Creating learning items
When viewing the catalogue as a site administrator or or a user with the capability to create courses, program or certifications, a Create option is available to add new courses, program and/or certifications to the site.
Configuring the course catalogue
How users can interact with the catalogue, the way it displays and what information it contains can be customised by a site administrator.
How is the catalogue populated
Catalogue entries for courses, programs and certifications are kept up-to-date automatically by Totara Learn. When a user changes data relating to learning items, catalogue data is either updated immediately, or else marked as needing to be updated as soon as possible by scheduling a new adhoc task.
Sorting when multiple languages are enabled
When multiple languages are installed, the sorting dropdown in the catalogue is removed. Instead, sorting is automatically managed, depending on the status of the catalogue. In order of precedence (highest first):
Fixing exceptions
The exception report details any errors that have occurred when the system has tried to calculate the completion dates and enrolments for the Learners assigned to a program/certification e.g. the completion criteria states the Learner has 30 days from the position start date to complete the program.
Exception types
There are several different types of exceptions that occur in different circumstances.

How to "duplicate" a course?
I'm quite new to teaching with moodle - and now my first course is over, a new one is starting (new name, same content, different participants). How can I manage this without copying every item one after another but also preserving the old course without any changes.

Re: How to "duplicate" a course?
It would really be nice to have a feature to "duplicate" a course easily, instead of going through the course "backup/restore" or "import" process... just like how we could duplicate a resource in a course right now in Moodle 2.x... Is this even on the radar of the Moodle development team? It would be awesome to have such feature!
