Copy a Course in NGLSync

Create a new course by copying an existing course that has custom content and settings you want to reuse. Copy your own current or inactive course, or copy a colleague's course if you know their course key.

Your new course uses the same product as the course you are copying.

Copied changes include:
  • Custom content and activities
  • Activity settings
  • Gradebook settings such as late penalties and category weighting
  • Order of content and activities in the learning path
  • Removal of content and activities not on the syllabus
Note

Changes made to the original course after your new course is created do not affect your new course.

  1. In the upper-left corner, click Menu > My Courses.
    You can also click My Courses on the K–12 Dashboard Home page.
  2. Click Create Course.
  3. Select whether to copy a course from a list of your existing courses, or by entering its course key.

    You can copy another teacher's course if you have their course key.

    Copy your own course:

    1. Select Copy an existing course, then click Next.
    2. Select your school and click Next.
    3. Select a course and click Next.
      You can search by course name or the textbook used.

    Copy course from course key:

    1. Select Copy from a course key.
    2. If you do not know the course key for the course you want to copy, find it in the NGLSync district directory.
    3. Enter the course key, then click Validate.
    4. Click Next.
    5. Select your school and click Next.
  4. Enter your course name, start date, and end date.

    Tip Requiring enrollment approval deters cheating from students with duplicate accounts.

    If a student tries to join the course after your chosen date, the teacher will receive an email notification and can approve or deny their request.

  6. Click Next.
  7. Review your course information and click Finish.
Your course is created in your learning platform and shown on your NGLSync My Courses page.
