HuskyCT Admins will happily copy your course content for you, but if you would like to do it yourself, follow the instructions below. If you would only like to copy some of your content to another course, use these instructions instead.

Please note that the course copy process will append content to your course. It does not overwrite or replace existing content. Therefore, we do not recommend that you use these steps a second time or you will end up with duplicate content in your course. To copy content after the course copy has been performed, use the Copying Content instructions.

Standard Course Copy

This standard course copy option is recommended for most users. If you do not know which instruction set to use, use this one.

  1. Enter the course that has the content that you wish to copy.

  2. Click Course Management → Packages and Utilities → Course Copy.

  3. If you know the Course ID (not the course name) of the course you want to copy the content into, paste it into the field labeled Destination Course ID.

    1. If you do not know the Course ID, search for the course.

      1. Click Browse next to the Course ID field.

      2. Use the search function to find your course.

      3. Choose the radio box next to the course that has the content you want to copy content into.

      4. Click Submit.

  4. Click Select All. If you do not want your old announcements copied over, uncheck the Announcements box. If you do not want to copy discussion board starter posts, click the Include only the forums, with no starter posts radio button.
    (warning) Note: Discussion forums will be copied regardless of the option that you pick here. The top option, "Include starter posts for each thread in each forum (anonymized)," generally consists of student replies unless you have specifically configured your discussion board differently. If unsure, choose the second option as described above.

  5. Click Copy links and copies of the content (include entire course home folder). If you do not choose this option, files that are linked in a document may not be copied over.

    1. If you are only copying course tools, such as Discussion Board or Announcements, use the second option: Copy links and copies of the content.

  6. Click Submit.

  7. You will receive an email when the course copy is complete. You will also see a blue banner at the top of your course indicating that the copy is complete.

Warning

Do not click Include Enrollments in the Copy, or you will copy over all the students from your old course to your new course. Enrollments of courses that are imported from PeopleSoft are managed automatically through the integration with PeopleSoft.

Do not make any changes to your course until you see the blue banner or receive the copy complete email, or you could interfere with the copy process.


Once you complete the course copy, compare the destination course with the source course to ensure that all content was copied properly. It is much more difficult to redo a course copy once students have started submitting data.

Note

If you have a SCORM package in the course, you need to check the box for Include Package Information or the SCORM package will not copy properly.

Additional Course Copy Options

HuskyCT admins recommend the above standard course copy for almost all users. However, if you have a specific need for one of the advanced options, they are detailed below. The specific steps to perform the course copy are the same as the above. The advanced instruction set is for copying – or not copying – specific types of content during the process.

Purpose

For a non-standard course copy, you need to follow the basic steps outlined in the standard course copy section above. However, you have some options regarding not copying specific parts of your course into the new course.

For the most part, unchecking a box on the course copy page (pictured above), will simply result in that item not copying over. You need to be cautious using these check boxes, as some may lead to unintended side effects. When performing a normal course copy, HuskyCT admins only use the Announcements and Discussion Board check boxes and leave all the others alone. It is usually not necessary to change the check boxes, but you may need to use the checkboxes for Grade Center and Test, Quizzes, and Pools.
