Copying all course content to another course It is possible to request for your entire course, or large chunks of it, to be copied to another course. Please use the request form at https:\/\/www.reading.ac.uk\/blackboard\/bbcopy\/Home\/CopyRequest Copying content in the course Fileshare In some cases you might simply want to copy a set of uploaded files from one course to another.

On the Copy \/ Move screen, leave the Destination Course as it is i.e. select the course you are in. Click on the Browse button next to Destination Folder to choose where the content is to be moved or copied to. A map of the course opens in a small window. Click to select the content area where the content is to be moved or copied to. The small window closes. All other options can be left on the default settings. Press Submit to complete the process. You will see a green Success message at the top of the screen. &nbsp; Copy or Move content to another course In order to copy or move content to another Blackboard course you do, naturally, need to be enrolled on both the \u2018source\u2019 and \u2018destination\u2019 courses. Follow the procedure above, but choose which course the content is to be copied to from the Destination Course drop-down list. Then, having selected the course, click on the Browse button next to Destination Folder to choose where in that course the content is to be moved or copied to. Again, you will normally want to accept the default settings for attached files: &nbsp; There are some content items that you cannot copy. These include tests, surveys and assignments. In these cases, the Copy option does not appear in the item\u2019s contextual menu.
