Brightspace offers two options for copying content from another course:
- Copy All Components. Transfers the entire course, including content, assessments, gradebook settings, files, and other course configurations. Choose this option to recreate a course in its entirety (save for student information pertinent to the section such as enrollment, activity, and grades).
- Select Components. Transfers only specific items from another Brightspace course. Choose this option when you want to reuse selected content while creating new elements, such as a gradebook, announcements, or assessments.
If you are the instructor of both courses, you can complete either process yourself.
If you need to copy content from a course in which you are not listed as the instructor, you will need to obtain expressed consent from both instructors, the department chair, or the dean before content can be shared.
