How do I copy the all of tests from one course to another?
Objective: Copying 'Tests, Surveys, and Pools' will replicate the entire section. If only a few tests are needed, Exporting is a better solution. The Grade Center must also be selected in order for the Tests, Surveys, and Pools to copy over successfully.
Answer
- Navigate to the course that contains the original test materials to be copied
- Scroll down the course menu on the left to the ‘Packages and Utilities’ tools and click it to expand the menu
- Click on ‘Course Copy’. This brings up the Course Copy page
- Next to Select Copy Type, use the drop-down menu and select ‘Copy Course Materials into an Existing Course’
- Click on ‘Browse’ next to Destination Course ID and find the course where the copy of the test materials is desired
- Check ‘Tests, Surveys, and Pools’ and ‘Grade Center’ on the checklist
- Under File Attachments, choose the center bubble ‘Copy links and copies of content’
- Leave the Enrollments checkbox blank and click the ‘Submit’ button
- An email will arrive once Blackboard finishes the copy (the Blackboard confirmation email occasionally arrives before the action is complete, give it some time before attempting the copy action again to prevent multiple copies)
