Edit course copy properties

These properties determine whether other instructors can copy or link to this course. (You can always copy or link to your own courses.) When you or another instructor copy or link to this course, you can choose to also copy the original course's assignments and instructor announcements.

• When you or another instructor copies one of your courses, you or the other instructor can fully customize the copied course.
• When you or another instructor links to one of your courses, the new course's title, section, student access properties, start and end dates, assignments, and instructor announcements can be modified. However, the Resource settings are inherited from the original course and cannot be changed.

To edit a course's copy properties:

1. Open the course that has the settings you want to change.
2. Click the Settings link at the top of the course window.

   The Settings page is displayed.

3. Click the Edit button for the Course Copy Properties.

   The Course Copy Properties page is displayed.

4. Change the settings as needed.

   Make Course Public Select Yes to allow other instructors to copy or link to the course. If you choose No, only you can copy or link to the course (for example, to reuse the course in a future semester). For this option, keep in mind that selecting Yes makes the course available to all instructors, not just those at your institution.

   Course Copy Availability Select an option from the drop-down list to specify whether other instructors can copy or link to your course. (The drop-down list is available only if you selected Yes for Make Course Public.)

   Require Password to Copy Select Yes if you want the course available for copying or linking only by instructors who have the password. Then enter the Copy Access Password. (This option is available only if you selected Yes for Make Course Public.)

   Copy Course Notes Select Yes if you want any notes you added to Resources included when the course is copied.

   Copy Instructor Announcements Select Yes if you want any announcements that were posted for students in the original course included when the course is copied.

5. Click the Save button to save your changes.
