You can also optionally set up a course offering to manage Bulk Course Create.
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, such as 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:
-
