You do not have to start from scratch when creating content for your course. If you created content in one course you can copy that content into another course. For example, if you are teaching multiple sections of a course, you can create all the content in one course section and then copy the content into the other sections. Copying course content is particularly useful at the start of a semester as it allows you to copy content from a previous semester to a newly created empty course. Course content for the previous three semesters will remain in Blackboard before it is removed.<\/p>\n

Follow these steps to do it.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Go to the [Control Panel] of the course in which has the content you want to copy.<\/li>\n
  2. Click on [Packages and Utilities] to expand it and then select [Course Copy]. <\/li>\n
  3. Choose [Copy Course Materials into an Existing Course] for the Select Copy type. <\/li>\n
  4. Click on the [Browse\u2026] button next to the [Destination Course ID] field. This will bring up a window containing a list of all available courses. Select the appropriate destination course from the list by clicking on appropriate radio button for the destination course and then click [Submit]. The [Destination Course ID] field will be filled in with the destination course you selected. <\/li>\n
  5. Choose which portions of the course will be copied by clicking on the appropriate content section(s). You can select other course materials like [Announcements], [Grade Center Columns and Settings], [Staff Information], and [Tests, Surveys, and Pools] to copy as well by selecting the appropriate boxes for the items you want to copy. <\/li>\n
  6. Use Manage Package Contents to choose which course files to include in the copy. <\/li>\n
  7. Click the [Submit] button when you are done. You should receive a message telling you that the course copy has been queued and that you will get an email when the process is complete. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Note: Double-check to make sure the correct destination course is selected.<\/strong> There is no way to reverse this process once the wrong course is selected and the copy request is submitted.<\/p>\n
