Course Copy

Once you see a new semester course in your Course List, you may go into your old semester course Control Panel, and use Course Copy to copy all or some of the content to the new semester. All you need to know is what you wish to copy over, and the course ID for the new course. The process takes but a few minutes (dependent on volume of content). This solution is ideal for those who are teaching the same course content within a sixteen month window.

NOTE: The GW Blackboard system begins to remove courses that are inactive sixteen months beyond the end of a given semester.
