Copy Course Materials into Blackboard Ultra

To copy a course's content in Blackboard from one course to another, you must be an instructor in both the source course and the destination course. If you plan to merge several courses, merge them first and then copy the content into the merged (master) course. Content copied into course sections before merging is NOT available in the merged course.
