This article will cover how to copy individual Blackboard course items to another Ultra Course at a granular level. For full course copy, see the article for Blackboard Ultra Course Copy.
All course shells at UToledo will be in Ultra Course View as of Summer 2025. Original content can be copied into Ultra. Note that you will begin this process inside the destination course in Ultra, not from within the source course to be copied.
1. Select the drop down arrow for Upcoming Courses.
2. Select Upcoming Courses.
Select the course you want the content to go to. This is opposite of Blackboard Original Course view.
1. Select the ellipsis (3 dots) in the upper right corner
2. Select Copy Items
For granular copy, instead of selecting the box associated with a course (for a full course copy), you can select the arrow to the right of the course to expand the options and select individual items for copy.
You can select individual content folders, or drill down even further for individual content items whenever an arrow is present. See example below when the arrow is selected for the Course Modules option in this particular source course:
Again, you can select items or drill down further for individual items whenever an arrow is present. Items selected will be noted above the Start Copy button.
You can select items from multiple courses, as any course in which you are instructor will be available to choose in the copy list. Use the navigation at the top or bottom of the course list to scroll through options.
Instructors will receive an email when the course copy is completed.
Some content is no longer supported in Ultra and will not convert or copy from Original. Please see the Preconversion Checklist for a list of supported and unsupported items as well as how to review Conversion Exceptions after copy.

UToledo Online can also assist with course copies. Please send your request to [email protected] and include the course alphanumeric, section, and semester/year of both the source course and destination course. Course copies of another instructor's content to your course require direct written permission from that instructor.
