If one course is the first semester of a two-semester course that includes the same students, you can copy some of the course materials and the enrollments. User data is not copied from one course to another. User data includes grades, test scores, blog posts and comments, journal posts and comments, discussion threads, wiki content, collaboration session data, and user …

An exact copy creates a new course and includes course materials, user enrollments, and staff assignments. For example, if a course is split into multiple sections to accommodate a large number of students, you can make an exact copy and then adjust the enrollment to create two sections of the same course.
Copy links and copies of the content: This will make copies of linked files, but ONLY those files that are linked. Files within the course's home folder that are not linked to any content within the course are not included in the copy.
You need manage permission on an item to include copies of those files. If you do not have this permission, you may be missing some files after the copy.
You can copy enrollments from one course to another even if you do not copy any course materials.
If the course materials don't exist in the destination course, Blackboard Learn adds the content area. For example, the source course has a content area called "Tools" that contains blogs and journals. The destination course doesn't contain any blogs or journals.
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 an assignment but you don't copy the assignments, the link to the assignment will break.
When you copy course materials into an existing course in the Original Course View, the existing course might already have content and tools in the course menu. The course menu might have the same name and type or the names and types might be different between the two courses.
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.".
Ultra Course View: Copies all announcements, but they appear as messages with text only and no course links.

You can copy all the content or select individual items from the other Ultra courses you teach. On the Course Content page, select the plus sign to open the menu. Select Copy Content. Or, open the menu on the right side above the content list. Select Copy Content.
Attendance data isn't included when you copy a course into a new or existing course. The attendance option is removed from the copy options. Attendance data is included in an exact course copy. More on attendance and course copying. Review all copied items to be sure you're showing the content you want to show.
The course you're copying is called the source course. The course you're creating or adding materials to is called the destination course.
For example, if two courses use the same materials but have a different set of students, you can copy the course materials from one course to another without copying the user enrollments. If one course is the first semester of a two-semester course that includes the same students, you can copy some of the course materials and the enrollments.
