About Copying Ultra Courses

The Ultra Course View allows you to easily copy content from other courses. You may choose to make an exact copy of a course or instead choose to copy individual items from one course into another.


If your course is not currently in Ultra Course View, email elis@lesley.edu to request a course conversion.



Copy an Entire Ultra Course

To make an exact copy of an Ultra course, go to the course you wish to copy the materials into. 


On the Course Content page, click on the Options Menu (three dots on the right side of the page) and select Copy Items.



This will bring up a list of all courses in which you are enrolled. Scroll through the list or use the search bar to search for a specific course. Click the checkbox next to the course you want to copy from and click Start Copy to make an exact copy of the course.


The copy process may take several minutes to complete.


When you perform a full course copy, all settings, including due dates, visibility, and release conditions are also copied over. Use the Batch Edit tool to update visibility settings and shift due dates.
