2. How do I copy content from one class to another within Blackboard?

There are two ways in Blackboard that allow you to copy content from one course to another:  Course Copy or Export/Import.  Course Copy is a fast and effective way to move content from one course to another without removing any content you have already added to your new course.  This method can be used in most instances, with the exception of copying content from a course used in a previous version of Blackboard, such as Blackboard 7.  To use the Course Copy function, please follow the tutorials below:

The Export/Import feature is another method of transferring content from one course to another.  This method adds an additional step, in that you download the course content to your computer before Importing it to another course, but it is effective.  Please note that if you have already added some content to your new course, it will be deleted if you Import content from another course.  If you have already created content in your new course, you may wish to use the Course Copy feature.  To use the Export/Import function, please follow the tutorials below:
