The following sections describe the steps to configure and use Copy Course Bulk:
- Enable Copy Course Bulk in Brightspace.
- Grant Manage Settings permissions.
- Grant View Copy Course Component Logs permission.
- Configure Copy Course Bulk.
- Specify the course offerings to copy.
- Verify that the courses were copied correctly.
You can also optionally set up a course offering to manage Copy Course Bulk. Note that all copied intelligent agents are disabled by default, unless the administrator has disabled the d2l.Tools.IntelligentAgents.DisableAgentsOnCopy configuration variable.
About Duplicate Calendar Item and LTI checks
When copying or importing a course offering, Copy Course bulk checks Calendar Events and LTI links to prevent creating duplicate events or links. Specifically:
-
Calendar events that have an association, such as to an activity that is being copied into the course offering; or a single unique Calendar event that is manually created.
-
LTI links that have a resource code associated, i.e. LTI links that are used in quicklinks or grades; and any unused LTI links. Only a single copy is copied.
When a user manually creates multiple calendar items, Brightspace compares the following fields when checking for duplicates:
-
