titleHow do I copy the content from a previous semester's course or a development shell?

You will have to copy your course content into your new official course shell. You may copy from a development course master or from a previous semester's course.

Note: If you need to copy content from another instructor's course, you must first be enrolled in that course as an instructor.

Here are the steps: Copy Course Components PDF Guide
