6. In Option 3 Course Files, choose between the following two options:
a. Copy links to Course Files – If most of your content is static, such as PDF
files for course readings, videos, and pictures, then links to the original
should suffice. Select this option.
b. Copy links and copies of the content (Include all Course Files) – If the
content is changed or updated for each course where it is used, such as the
syllabus, then copying the original is more appropriate. In this way, you can
make changes to the new files that are specific to the new course. Select this
option
7. In Option 4 Enrollments, do NOT click Include Enrollments in the Copy for a
regular course. If you are using the Course Copy tool for a workshop,
organization, or non-‐standard course, then you may want to bring over the users
from one course to another.
8. Click the [Submit] button. Assuming there are no initial problems, the "Success"
banner should appear across the following page, indicating that the course copy
request is being processed. You will receive an email when the process is
complete.
