How to Copy a Course

Using the Copy Course Wizard in ANGEL allows you to copy all course content from one course to another. This includes all items in Lessons, Calendar, Announcements, the Course Syllabus, and the Gradebook.

Student data, including the Course Roster, Discussion Postings, Quizzes and Drop Box Submissions, Grades, and Mail are NOT copied during this procedure.

  1. Log into your new ANGEL course
  2. Click the Manage tab. ( This should be the new empty course.)

    Manage tab

  3. Click the Import Wizard hyperlink.

  5. Select the course or group you want to import from the list of available courses and groups listed in the Source Course/Group drop-down menu.

  6. The “Migrate Quizzes to Assessments” option might be preferable if the course being copied from used the Quiz format and you want to change to the newer and more feature-rich Assessments format

  7. Optionally deselect the ‘backup course before import’ checkbox if you do not want to backup the existing course data and settings prior to completing the import.

  8. Optionally deselect the ‘replace all existing content’ checkbox if you want to add the imported lesson content to your existing lesson content.

  9. Click the Import button. Note:If you chose the Migrate Quizzes to Assessments option, you will see a pop-up window asking if you want to backup any Quizzes before migrating them to Assessments - Click YES. The import process may take a few seconds to several minutes depending on the size of the course or group. The Import Progress screen will appear.

  10. Wait until the import progress screen is no longer active (all clock icons have been replaced with checkmark icons) and then click OK
  11. You should be in your NEW course site with your “old” content. If any area was hidden, it will still be hidden when copied. Student work and users will NOT copy over. You must update any old semester dates and any other dated materials. Double check any links to be sure the linked site has not moved. Go through your content using the User Preview Tool to be sure you do not refer to previous semesters. Also, if you used the Annoucement nugget, you will want to delete any annoucements that you do not want to be shown with this new section.
