How to Use the Copy Items Feature in Ultra

The Copy Items feature in Blackboard Ultra allows instructors to bring content from other courses or organizations into their current course. Instructors can browse or search for a course, select categories such as content, discussions, question banks, rubrics, or grade schemes, and copy selected items—then review visibility and due dates to ensure the materials are ready for student access.

1. On the Course Content page, select the More options menu. Select Copy Items.
   
   
   
   You can now access a list of your courses. If the course you’re searching for isn’t on the first page, use the arrows to navigate or use the search bar. You can also search for organizations by selecting the Organizations tab. 
   
   
2. Select the name of a course to access its available items to copy. The following categories are available: 
   
   Content: Items that are listed on the Content page for that course.
   
   Discussions: Items that are listed on the Discussions page for that course.
   
   Question Banks: All available question banks for that course.
   
   Rubrics: All available rubrics for that course.
   
   Grade Schemes: All available grade schemes for that course.
   
   
3. Select a category to access available items to copy. Then, select the items you'd like to copy. Content is automatically set to Hidden from students if you copy individual items into your course. 
   
   
   
   Review all copied items to be sure students can access only the content that you want and that due dates are correct. You can use the batch edit feature to update visibility and due dates all at once. 
   
   
4. Select Start Copy.
