How do I copy my "master" course into my empty course shell?
Click here for the visual handout with the screen captures.
Or follow the steps below:
1. Identify your Source Course (prior semester shell or Master) and your Destination Shelll (new semester shell)
2. Go to the destination shell, and verify that is empty of content. Then, remove the course menu items/buttons on the left to avoid repetitions or empty areas. You may leave only the Announcements option.
3. Go to your Source Course:
- Go to the Control Panel box
- Click on the left arrows or Contextual menu
- Select Course Coy
- Click on Copy into an existing course
Destination course ID (enter in this format: 2011_FA_) and click Browse. Your new semester shell will appear. - Check all of the boxes if you want to copy the entire course (Do NOT copy Enrollments. That will bring users from the prior semesters to the new one.)
- Click Submit.
You will get a confirmation message indicating that your course copy request is in the Blackboard copy queue. Depending on how many requests have been submitted, your copy will be completed within 10 min. to overnight.
When the copy is complete you will be sent a confirmation email.
