How do I copy content from one Blackboard Ultra course to another?

You are viewing Ultra Course View content.

The course copy tool allows you to copy content from one existing UA Blackboard course to another. This can help you get a head-start on setting up a course you’ve taught before, or reuse content.

The Ultra course copy process is different than the Original View process. The Ultra course copy process pulls content into the course.
