You may use Course Copy to transfer all course materials and settings from one Blackboard course to another. This process is useful for copying a sandbox or a previous semester course to a new course shell before updating necessary information. Watch the one-minute demo video or follow the steps below the video.
Before copying, make sure that you have enabled Blackboard through myOleMiss for your new course. Enabling Blackboard is not included in the demo video, but you can review the steps on the PDF quickstart guide.
