Course Copy provides instructors the ability to export content for reuse in another D2L Learning Environment, or to store the components and then re-import them into another course offering.

Note:

The following instructions are for copying an entire course. For instructions on copying individual items, visit the Course Component Copy page.

Note:

Copying components 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.
