I teach at a community college in California, and your proposal would be a violation of student privacy laws. If we use student work as samples for training purposes, we must remove their names, student numbers, and so on. 

Rather than try to duplicate a concluded course with students and completed assignments, you could simply use anonymous samples of student work for your training course. Just copy and paste what you need.

@SusanNiemeyer - Absolutely!

When I read the Idea, I honestly considered all the time that goes into creating onboarding or training materials for new staff that uses fictitious students and demo material. I can see where this application would be helpful in very specific contexts. ...but is the benefit worth the risks? ...or maybe it's only available to certain roles or admin?
