More Information:

Question: Can I copy individual documents from one course to another in this area?
Answer:   No and yes. From this feature, you can only copy whole sections of material, based on the following categories: Announcements, Assessments and Pools, Gradebook, Calendar, Categorical Information, Content, Discussion Board, Users and Groups, Settings, and Staff Information. The Content category refers to all content areas—such as Course Information, Course Documents, and Assignments. From within each content area, you can individually copy documents or folders. Look for the "copy" button next to each item.

Question: Can I copy files from another instructor’s course?
Answer:   Yes, but you must be listed as an instructor in both the "To" and "From" course.

Question: Can I copy content to multilple courses at one time?
Answer:   No, you can only copy to one course at a time.
