  • To specify the components you wish to copy, choose "Select Components" and make your selections. For details on course components, click "Show the current course components" and then select the "View Detail" icon next to a component to review existing items. For components offering the option to include associated files, it is recommended to leave the option turned on. Finally, select "Continue."

Notes:

  • If you copied a course with S3 model configurations, the course is listed in the Student Success System Administration page (Admin Tools > Student Success System).
  • Now when you copy groups to courses, the group setup (grade item, assessment option, and so on) is also copied over.
  • A validation logic step is included in the copy process. To help reduce duplicate objects and cleanup from the copy process, the validation logic informs you if you have previously copied from the source course.
