Overview
This article covers how to copy some or all of a course into another course offering.
Instructions
Brightspace allows you to copy some or all of a course into another course.
To Copy an Entire Course
1. Enter the course that needs content copied into it. For example, if you are trying to copy your Spring course into your Fall course, you will need to complete this process from your Fall course.
2. At the top of your course page, from the blue course navigation bar, click Course Admin.
3. Under Site Resources, click Import/Export/Copy Components.
4. Select the Copy Components from another Org Unit.
5. Click the gray button Search for offering.
6. A new window will open. Search for the course you need content from.
7. Select the course and then click the blue button Add Selected.
8. The page will now display the course you have selected under Course to Copy.
9. If you would like to copy the entire course, select the blue button Copy All Components. The copy may take several minutes to complete; do not navigate away from the page.
To Copy Part of a Course
1. If you would like to copy only part of the course, follow steps 1-9 above, and then select the gray button Select Components.
2. This page contains a table that lists all components available in the course. Note: This table can be shown/hidden by clicking the link Show/hide the current course components. You do not need to view this table in order to complete a course copy.
3. All components that can be copied are listed. Select the parts of the course you wish to copy and click the blue button Continue.
Note: Many components allow you to select individual items, such as a single discussion or calendar item.
4. The next page will ask you to confirm your selections. You can also offset the associated dates and times of the selected components. This will adjust any due dates, or start/end dates, associated with that copied item. If there are no dates associated with the item or you do not wish to adjust the dates, you can simply leave blank.
5. Click the blue button Finish when done. Depending on the items selected, the copy may take several minutes to complete; do not navigate away from the page.
