Copying Course Materials

At times, you may want to copy pages and features—and all the content they hold—from one course context to another. This may be useful if you’ll be teaching multiple sections of a course in the same term, or if you teach the same course every semester. You copy materials using the Copy Course Materials feature.

Generally only members of the Faculty and Administrators roles have permission to copy courses, and unless you are a member of the Administrators role, you can only copy to and from your own course contexts. That is, generally only members of the Administrators role can copy one teacher’s materials to another teacher’s course context. (This capability is available only to roles who have the Can copy all courses global permission. Only the Administrators role has this permission by default, but an administrator may grant this global permission to any other role.)

When you copy, the context that you copy from is called the copied context, or source context. The one you are copying to is called the destination context.
