Copy Course Content: Learn@UCO

Description

This article guides instructors in the process of copying content from one Learn@UCO course shell to another. Instructors can copy all content from one course to another or may pick-and-choose which content to copy. You must have instructor level access to both the original course and the new course to be able to copy content between shells.

The copying process will move over all content, dropboxes, discussions, gradebooks, settings and more between classes. You will also have the option to offset dates when copying components.
