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.

Instructions

1. Log in to Learn@UCO and access your new course shell (the course you are copying components into).
   
2. Click Edit Course.
3. Click Import/Export/Copy Components.
   
4. You will need to tell the system where the original information can be found. Click Search for offering.

7. Click Add Selected.
   
8. Your original page will refresh and you should now see the name of the selected course listed under “Course to copy”.

10. Click Select components.
    
11. On the next page, click the <checkbox> for each tool from which you want to copy specific components. Then select either Copy all items (to copy everything from the selected tool) or Select individual items to copy (to select only specific components from the selected tool).

14. On the confirmation page, review your selections and make modifications as needed.
15. If you would like to use the offset date feature, select the Offset all dates of copied components check box and specify the days and hours that the dates should be offset by or calculate the range between two dates. (The offset dates option allows you to adjust all dates associated with the copied material for the new course by shifting all dates by a specific amount of time).
16. Click Finish.
    
17. As the course copy processes, you may navigate away from the Copy Course Components History page. When the copy is complete, you will see a green check mark.
