Yes. There are several options for copying the content of an entire course into a new course. Course Copy features are available under Packages and Utilities in the Blackboard Control Panel in Blackboard Original Course View.
Deleting Items in Bulk
Deleting items in bulk should be done with caution. It can be useful when a course needs to be emptied and redeveloped, such as if a Course Copy needs to be redone or the course Instructor is reassigned. Please contact the Center for Innovative Teaching and Learning for assistance if you have any questions prior to deleting materials in bulk.
Note: Any information deleted during the Bulk Delete and Batch Edit operations cannot be recovered. It is important to create an export of materials or an archive of student data first, so, should the need arise, the course can be restored to its exact state before items were deleted.
