How to Copy Content Into a New Course

A new Blackboard course will be created each semester for all active courses as determined by the Registrar’s Office. The process described in this document allows instructors to copy content from an old course to the newly created course shell.

You should be enrolled as an instructor for both the old course and the new course. Through this process, you can copy content from Blackboard Original or Blackboard Ultra to Blackboard Ultra courses.

1. Open your new course. Click the ellipses button at the top of the Course Content. Choose Copy Items.

2. To copy all course content from a desired course, select the box next to the respective course name and click the Start Copy button.

Note: If you need to copy only specific items from a course, select the arrow at the right to the course name, make your selection, and continue the process.

3. The copy process is processed.

4. When the process is complete, the new content displays in your course. You can review the copy process issues. Click the View Details link.

5. The Copy Details window will display the items that were not copied correctly.

6. If you exited the course and want to review the Copy Details items again, you can do so from the Course Content ellipses button.

7. Please let us know if you have any questions about the copy content process at BlackboardHelp@uams.edu.
