How do I copy individual content items from one course to another?
These instructions will show you how to copy individual content items from one course to another. To see how to copy an entire course, please view Copying Course Content in OnCourse.
Step-by-step guide
- Open the course you would like to import the content to.
- Locate the green gear icon on the upper right hand side of the page. From the drop-down menu, click the Import link.
- Locate the course you would like to copy.
If the course name does not appear in the first 10 listed, use the search box to locate the course to copy from.
- If you are searching for a course that was migrated from ANGEL, you will need to search using the semester code first. For example, MATH-110 from Fall 2015 would be search using “201530-MATH-110.”
- Semester codes are the year followed by 05 for JTerm, 10 for Spring, 20 for Summer, and 30 for Fall. Examples:
- 201605 = JTerm 2016
- 201610 = Spring 2016
- 201520 = Summer 2015
Click the radio button next to the course name and press Continue.
- By default all items will be selected, only change this if you would like to exclude a particular type of content from the copy.
The items under the Personalized Learning Designer Settings section will be unchecked. If you have not used the PLD, this can remain unchecked. To copy individual course content items only, check "Include activities and resources" and uncheck all other items. If you are importing Quizzes you will also need to checkmark "Include question bank" even if you don't use question banks.
On the next page, the items that will be copied will have green checks next to the titles. Items with red Xs will not be copied.
- If you need to make changes, click the Previous button to return to the selection screen.
