How to Copy, Duplicate, and Share Media


Many instructors record chapter lectures to be shared with students and will copy their media to additional sections or semesters. Sometimes, instructors will also share their media with other faculty members teaching relative courses. The purpose of this article is to provide steps on how to achieve these functionalities in Connect Media Services.

Please note before you proceed:

If you are familiar with Copying, Sharing, and Duplicating Connect Courses and Sections, your media will be Copied, Shared, and Duplicated by following the steps you are familiar with.
If you are unfamiliar with these processes, continue with the steps below.  

Share:

Sharing a section allows you to replicate your section for other instructors and to retain control over assignment editing, due dates, and policies. Changes you make to your section will apply to the shared versions of that section. Changes made to the shared versions of the section will not affect the original.. Updates made in thew Primary section will copy over to shared sections, such as adding or replacing media. adding captions etc...
  • Locate the section you wish to Share on your course page
  • Click the kebab (3 verticle dots) and select "Send to Colleague" 
  • Click "Copy section" or "Share section" in the pop-up window
    • The pop-up window will display the features of each function, Copy or Share

 
  •  Enter the email addresses of colleagues with whom you want to share/copy the section with
    • You can enter or copy and paste up to 200 email addresses.
  • Click "Find colleagues" 
  • Choose:
  1. How many times you wish to share the section with each instructor
  2. Select which permissions apply
  3. Click "Share" 


Note: The default number of sections and default permissions will apply if you choose not to change them.


You can also apply bulk changes to the number of sections and permissions by checking the checkbox at the top of the colleagues list or selecting the checkboxes beside the names of individual instructors. Then click the bulk settings icon.
 


Copy:
Copying a section allows you to clone your section for other instructors but without any control over editing, due dates or policies. Changes you make to your section will not apply to the copied versions of that section. Changes made to the copied versions of the section will not affect the original.

  • Find the section on your courses page and, from the settings menu, select "Copy Section".
  • Enter the email addresses of colleagues to whom you want to copy the section to.
  • Click "Find colleagues".
  • Click "Copy"  to continue.

Best Practices:

  • Use the Share and Copy features after assignment creation to give other instructors access to your Connect section. Sharing retains your control over assignment editing, due dates, and policies while Copying provides a completely editable version
  • Choose Copy to send a standalone copy to other instructors
  • Choose Share to create a "link" allowing you to share assignments to recipients on an ongoing basis, and generate a report on assignment results (ideal for course coordinators)
  • NOTE: You can also share or copy individual assignments rather than an entire section

Follow the steps below to reuse your Media by using the "Duplicate Section" option.

Note: Duplicating Sections will duplicate the following: 
  • Your Media Recordings
  • All assignments
  • eBook annotations
**Student data and links with other instructors will not be copied.

To save time we recommend setting up your section completely before you duplicate it.
  • On your My Courses page, find the course containing sections and assignments you would like to duplicate
  • Click the kebab (3 verticle dots) adjacent to the Section Name and then click on "Duplicate this section"
  • In the pop-up window, you will see that your section has been renamed as Copy of... by default.
  • You have the option to rename the section here or once you have completed duplicating the section,
  • Click "Continue to new section", and you will be taken into your new section


Please note, if you do not see your media straight away try refreshing the page.
