Copying Content into an Ultra Course

Ultra makes it easy to copy materials from one course into another. You may choose to make an exact copy of a course or copy individual items.

As a best practice, we do not recommend copying an entire Original course into an Ultra course, as this may cause errors. Instead, we recommend copying Original course content in pieces (ex, one folder or module at a time). Be sure to check the content once it has been copied into Ultra to ensure that everything looks and functions as intended.

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

Copy an Entire 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 to select it. The course will be brought over to the Selected Items column. Click Start Copy to copy your 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.

Copy Individual Course Items

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

Alternately, go to the location in your Course Content where you wish to add content, click the plus sign to open the menu and select Copy Content.

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 on the course you want to copy from. This will display a list of categories. Select a category to see items available for copy. You may copy as many items from the course as you wish, including entire modules, individual documents, assignments, discussions, and more.

• Content: Items that are listed on the Content tab for that course. 
• Discussions: Items that are listed on the Discussions tab for that course. 
• Question Banks: All available Question Banks for that course. 
• Rubrics: All available Rubrics for that course.
• Grade Schemas: All available Grade Schemas for that course.

Select the items you want to copy and click Start Copy to copy the content. 

The copy process may take several minutes to complete.

When you copy individual items to your course these items are hidden from students by default. Use the Batch Edit tool to change the visibility settings.
