Copying courses in Blackboard

blackboard > tutorials > copying courses in blackboard

In Blackboard, only instructors of record are able to copy materials from their previous courses. Teaching Assistants are unable to perform this function. In this tutorial, you will learn how to copy materials from a previous course into a new course. You must have an Instructor role in both courses to use this feature.

The following tutorial begins in the Control Panel area of your previous course, which only Instructors and their designated Teaching Assistants can access.
