Copy Your CNOWv2-Integrated Course in Brightspace

Copy a CNOWv2-integrated Brightspace® course to copy all content and course settings in both Brightspace and CNOWv2 at the same time.

This feature is not available to everyone and cannot be used to copy another instructor's course. Alternatively, see Copy a CNOWv2 Course to a New Brightspace Course.

If this feature is not enabled for your institution, you will be asked to complete additional steps after copying your Brightspace course.

Note To request this feature, ask your Cengage representative to enable enhanced course copy.
  1. In Brightspace, create a new course.
  2. Copy content from a CNOWv2-integrated course to your new Brightspace course.

    If you are manually selecting which content to copy, be sure to include links to CNOWv2.

  3. Navigate to the copied content area in your new course.

    The CNOWv2 links from your original course are shown, but your new course has not yet been created in CNOWv2.

  4. To create your CNOWv2 course, click a CNOWv2 link.

    Your new CNOWv2 course opens in a new tab.

    All dates in your new CNOWv2 course are inferred from the course start and end date.

  5. Review and adjust assignment dates and course settings as needed.
