Course Copy
Note: The following instructions are for copying an entire course. For instructions on copying individual items, view the Course Component Copy page.
- Copying components (i.e. quizzes, assignments, etc.) does not overwrite previous items in a course; instead, it adds to the items already in the course.
- For example, If a course contains 5 quizzes and a course with 3 quizzes is copied into it, the course will contain 8 quizzes.
- If the same component or tool is copied multiple times it will create duplicates.
- The only component that can be overwritten is a course file, if the file being copied has the same name as the existing file.
- Copying a course will not copy student data, such as discussion posts, submitted assignments, or entered grades.
