Copy course

How do I copy an already existing course?

  1. Go into the course you want to copy and then do this via Control Panel > Course Copy.
  2. You will then have three choices. In most situations, you will want to use the first choice: Copy Course Materials into a New Course. (For the others, visit the manual online in the Blackboard 101 course).

There are three important options to set:

  1. You will have to choose a new destination course id for the course to have. See this page for advice on how to choose a Destination course id.

  2. You will then be given the options of what to copy. Check everything that applies, especially the content areas where your files are.

  3. Be sure and check the Enrollments checkbox! Otherwise you will not be included in the course as the Instructor and the course will be left Instructorless and you will not be able to see it on your list of My Courses.
    This is very counter-intuitive, but that’s the way it works! (After you copy the new course, this means you will have to go into it and clean out all the Student user account via Control Panel > Remove Users from Course.)
