HOW DO I COPY MATERIALS WITHIN A COURSE?
Question
I have a recurring weekly assignment in my course. I'd like to copy or duplicate this assignment. How do I copy materials in a course?
Answer
There is no option to directly copy or duplicate materials within a course. Instead, you can save a template of your assignment to your Resources. From there, you can copy as many versions of the assignment as needed back into the course.
To make a copy of a material within the same course:
- Click the gear icon to the right of the material.
- Select Save to Resources from the drop-down menu:
- Choose a location within your Resources where you want to save a template of the material.Best Practice: Before you get started saving your course materials to Resources, create collections for each subject area or course. A collection is a container that stores courses, folders, files, and resources you may want to use again. This enables you to curate your course content before moving it into your courses.
- Navigate to the material in your Resources.
- Click the gear icon to the right of the material.
- Select Add to Course from the drop-down menu.
- Select the course and folder to which you want to add the material.
- Click Add to complete.
