Hi Deborah,
You can remove all student contributed content by using the 'Reset' link under the Administration block of your course. Be careful, because this permanently removes the student submissions - there is no undo button.
If you want to remove the actual assignments from the course page (ie. that you or your co-worker created), you have to Turn Editing On and click delete on each activity one at a time. This process is a bit quicker if you have 'Advanced Web Features' turned on in your profile, as the page doesn't have to refresh after each delete.
If you want a completely blank course, it may be easiest to contact your Moodle administrator and ask for a new one
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Michael

HI Deborah,
I you are a teacher in your course, you can probably make your own new course, which is the most conservative approach. This allows you to keep whatever you like from the old classroom.
Here's what you do to make one that is totally blank. I'm using Moodle 1.9.4

- Click backup in classroom Administration
- On the include line at the top, click None and None
- scroll to the bottom and choose
Users none
Logs No
User Files No
Course Files No
Site files No
Grade histories No - At the very bottom, click None for Backup role assignments
- Click Continue
- Click Continue
- Click Continue
- You are brought to the Files area where you will see a zipped file named "backup-nameofyourcourse.zip"
- Click Restore
- Click Yes
- Click Continue
- You'll see that Restore to is set for "New course."
- Category defaults to the category your old course is in. Be careful, or your course will restore as the front page for your whole Moodle.
- Short name: give it a different name from your old course. Make it unique.
- Full name: whatever you want
- Groups & Groupings: Probably choose name
- All else is default, so click Continue at the bottom.
- Click Restore this course now!
- Wait a bit and click Continue
- Voila! as Mary Cooch teaches her students to say, you have a totally blank new classroom.
- But, you will need an administrator to put you into the classroom as a teacher. This is because Moodle does not allow a role (Teacher) to do anything at its own level. Thus, you cannot add yourself to a classroom as a teacher.
Ben - can regular teachers restore to new courses? I wasn't aware they could?
Oh my. I am wrong. 
You are correct, Mary. All a regular teacher can do is restore to existing course.
My apologies, Deborah.
I'd still advocate for a new course/classroom so you can keep the parts of the old one that you like.
