Course and Content Copy

In Blackboard Learn Ultra there are two ways to copy your course: full course copy or partial course copy. The following guidelines can help you decide which type of course copy is best for you.

Full course copy - You want to copy your entire course to a different course.

Partial course copy - You want to copy over select parts of your course from a previous course.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Full Course Copy - To copy your entire course:

1. Open the destination course – the course where you want the copied content to go.
2. In the top-right corner of the Course Content area, select the three dots under Student Preview and then Copy Items.
3. In the Copy Items panel, select the course you want to copy over. Then select Start Copy. (NOTE: Hidden courses will not show up in the Copy Items panel.)
4. Locate your copied course content at the bottom of the Course Content area of the destination course.

Partial Course Copy - To copy only parts of your course:

1. Follow steps 1-2 above to open the Copy Content panel. Or select the ‘+’ sign where you would like the content copied to
2. Locate the course that needs to be copied from and select the arrow next to its name.
   Note: Do not select the box next to the course name as that copies over the entire course itself.
3. Select the arrow next to the part that contains the needed content. This should reveal the individual items within that section.
4. Select the box next to all items that need to be copied over.
   Note: Folders and Modules can be opened further to select content inside.
5. Once the necessary selections have been made, click Copy selected content at the bottom of the panel.
6. Locate your copied course content at the bottom of the Course Content area of the destination course.

NOTE: Some courses may take longer to copy depending on the size and complexity of the course. Review any error messages, and if extra help is needed, please reach out the IT dept. After completing a course copy, confirm that your material copied in as expected. This is a good opportunity to check Due Dates, Availability Dates, and confirm that any Pools used in your tests are up-to-date.
