About course materials. When you copy a course, you choose which course materials to include. For example, you can include content areas, collaboration sessions, and contacts, but exclude journal entries. If you create a new course, you must select at least one of these areas: Content, Contacts, or Settings.
If the copied sections of a course include links to materials that you don't copy into the destination course, the links will break in the destination course. For example, if a course area links to a test but you don't copy the tests, the link to the test will break. After copying, edit the destination course to update or remove any broken links.
For example, the destination course has a content area called "Tools" that contains blogs and journals. The source course has a content area called "Tools" that contains course files. After the copy, the destination course has two content areas: the original "Tools" and the new "Tools1.".
You can add course materials to an existing course by copying them from another course. You can maintain the course materials, user enrollments, and records of the existing course while adding the new course materials.
