I have been banging on about this issue with Bb for over 12 months. Bb have
not utilities for handling this and I have not seen any 3rd party
applications either. The answer is to go to the Learning System which for
most people about doubles the cost. Other than that it is a matter of
manually migrating modules, or reusing the module for new students.
If anyone has any other news, please let me and the list know.
