If you're teaching the same course that you previously taught (even if it was two years ago), you can reuse your assignments, files, message boards, and other course work such as announcements instead of deleting or starting a brand new course.
These steps will help you transfer your course files and assignments to another semester of the same course, rather than creating a new course and then re-uploading and recreating your course content.
This is not copying your course for others to use. However, you can copy assignments to another course and copy files and folders to another course.
Note: These
steps are to reuse your course for a different semester, and not a section
in the same semester. Sections
in the same semester will have the same content, but different Rosters
and Gradebooks. If
you do not want your sections to share the same information, you can create a new course for each
section.
Reuse my Course Steps:
Step 1: Export the Gradebook and Roster (optional)
Step 3: Create a New Semester & Section
Step 4: Update Online Assignments
Step 5: Archive or Delete Announcements
Step 6: Backup or Delete File Dropbox Items
Step 7: Update your Course Content
Step 8: Archive your Chat Room
Step 9: Clean your Course Content Recycle Bin
Step 10: Create new Message Boards
Step 11: Remove Manually Added Users
Step 12: Uninstall Components you are not reusing
