Blackboard: Copy the Grade Center to Another Course

Access the course you want to copy.

  1. Access the course you want to copy.
  2. On the Control Panel, expand the Packages and Utilities section and select Course Copy.
  3. In the "Select Copy Type" option you will only have the "Copy Course Materials into an Existing Course" option
  4. In the Destination Course ID box, search for the course  that you would like the content to. 
  5. Select the course materials that you want to copy over.

    A course copy operation can't be completed if you don't select at least one of these areas: Content, Contacts, or Settings. If you don't select one , a warning appears and Blackboard Learn can't create a new course.

  6. In the File Attachments section, select the option to copy links to:
    • Copy Links to Course Files: No copies of linked files are included in the copy. The copied course will have the same set of links. Those links will point back to the original location of the link defined in the origin course.
    • Copy links and copies of the content: Make copies of linked files, but only those files that are linked. Files within the course's home folder that aren't linked to any content within the course aren't included in the copy. - Recommended
    • Copy links and copies of the content (include entire course home folder): Make copies of all files in the course's home folder regardless of whether those files are linked to course content.

      You need manage permission on an item to include copies of those files. If you don't have this permission, you may be missing some files after the copy.

  7. Select Submit.
