Copy Your SAM-Integrated Course in Blackboard

Copy a SAM-integrated Blackboard® course to copy all content and course settings in both Blackboard and SAM 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 SAM Course to a New Blackboard Course.

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

Note To request this feature, ask your Cengage representative to enable enhanced course copy.

1. In Blackboard, copy all course content to a new course using one of the following methods.
   • Copy an entire SAM-integrated Blackboard course.
   • Create a new Blackboard course and copy content from a SAM-integrated course into the new course.

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

2. After the task is complete, navigate to the copied content area in your new course.

   Your SAM links should all be listed, but they don't yet point to a SAM course.

3. Click one of the SAM links.

   Your copied SAM course opens in a new tab.

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

Note If your course does not open, this feature is not enabled and you must complete these additional steps.

4. Copy your SAM course.
   1. Select Copy one of my existing Cengage/SAM courses (including its assignments) if it is not already selected.
   2. Select the correct SAM course if it is not already selected.
   3. Enter the necessary information.

Review and adjust assignment dates and course settings as needed.
