• Copy Course Content

Copying course components allows you to easily reuse or share your course resources in another course. This tool is useful for faculty who teach the same course; either in more than one section or more than one semester and do not want to enter the course information/files in the D2L system more than once. It also allows faculty to share resources with colleagues. Student information (submissions, quizzes, discussions or grades) will not copy over to the new course.

Note: You must be enrolled in each course with the role of faculty or faculty guest to have the necessary permissions to copy course content.

To copy an entire course into another course:

Log into D2L and click on the course you are copying components into.

1. Click Course Admin in the navigation bar.
2. Click on Import/Export/Copy Components.
   
3. Select Copy Components from another Org Unit (this should be selected by default)
4. Click Search for offering.
   
5. In the Search For box, enter the name of course you are copying from and click the search icon.
   
6. Click the radio button to the left of the course that you wish to copy from.
7. Click Add Selected.
   
8. Click Copy All Components if you wish to copy everything over from the course. You can always delete files if you do not want them in your new course site.
   
9. Once the process is complete, you can View Content or Review and Manage Dates (recommended).
