Hi All

Is there perhaps someone that has a solution to this problem? We are
using Blackboard 6. Because of the way that BB has been implemented at
our college, a course, eg Psychology AS, might end up as three different
courses in Blackboard, eg Psychology AS Group 1, Group 2 and Group 3.
This happens because our MIS allocates each group a different course
code. However, lecturers want exactly the same course materials in all
three course codes. At his point in time I only know of three ways to
get these materials accross from one course to the others: 1) do it
manually, 2) use copy course, 3) use export and import.

Option 2 will work fine for lecturers, except than when you copy
materials across, existing materials are not overwritten. So, if you
copy materials from course A to course B, make changes to A and copy it
again, you end up with everything duplicated in B. You can off course go
and delete everything, which brings me to my question. Is there a way to
delete all course content in one go! I realise one will loose all
tracking information, but I think for some lecturers that won't matter.

Another question would off course be whether anybody has any better
solutions to this problem, apart from suggesting us changing the course
codes, because I have tried that and the answer is NO.
