Avoiding creating duplicate pages

Avoiding creating duplicate pages

Hello,

In our environment, we have 2 courses that are checklists that can be completed seperately.

Each checklist contains topics with multiple pages of information. Some of the pages overlap in both checklists. 

Is there a way to link to the same page in each seperate course? How would I do this? 

For instance:

Course A:
- Topic B
-- Page X (exactly the same page as in Course B)
-- Page Y

Course B
-Topic C
-- Page X (exactly the same page as in Course A)
-- Page Z

Maybe our approach to creating the courses is wrong. If so, all advice is welcome!

You can get the result with with "meta link" course strategy (standard moodle to propagate inscription) 

https://docs.moodle.org/en/Course_meta_link

For instance:

Course A Content :
- Topic B
-- Course D with only content Page X (exactly the same page as in Course B) meta link access
-- Page Y

Course B Content : 
-Topic C
-- Course D with only content Page X (exactly the same page as in Course A)  meta link access
-- Page Z

advantage : no duplication
updating/modyfing  Content in course D (page X) : only one time 

OR 

or with 1 or 2 plugins , but they are no longer avalaible in community version on .org  (lack of time) 

with meta course strategy (standard moodle to propagate inscription) same as said before

+ plugin page_format (optionnal but optimal in course présentation)  

+ plugin course_ascendant/course_descendant (to organize easy navigation for students)
