Copying Content from an Exchange Collection

TABLE OF CONTENTS

• Make a Copy from a Collection 

Exchange collections can be used to create course templates, copy content from another course, and collaborate with other instructors. You can create a copy of any shared content and add the content to an existing course or a new course. 

Joining an Exchange Collection

Save an Exchange Collection from the Course Catalog to your Collections tab by selecting the Collection and Join. 

You may also be added to a private Exchange Collection. If you have been added to a private Exchange Collection (one not shared to the Course Catalog) you will automatically see that Collection on your Collections page, under the Exchange tab.

Copying from an Exchange Collection You've Joined 

After joining an Exchange Collection, select 'Collections' from left navigation menu. 

• Click the collection card to view the content within the collection. 
  • To view the content in more detail, select the course title and expand any modules to view the content within the sections. 
• Select the copy icon on the far right to add the content to an existing course or create a new course. You can copy the shared course, unit, or lesson.
