Jannetta, Deleting Content Use the Recycle option to delete all content, students, staff, the works if required. Multiple Modules Seems that the easiest way would be to register everyone on one module and make the other two modules unavailable. If lecturers want to have their own group communication, discussion boards, email etc, they can create groups in the module. However if they want their own modules you could: 1) create a (new) single module containing only content (all other buttons made unavailable) and load everyone into that module. 2) switch off all content areas in the group modules (and any other unnecessary options) and add the separate groups into the group modules. 3) create links from the content module to the targetted areas in the group modules. These links could be stored in folders named for each group. Everyone could see the folders and links but only those registered in the group module would be able to access the group resources via the links. This is a bit messy and needs a bit of management by the lecturers but it should work. Possibly someone in BB land has a neater solution. I would be grateful to hear off it. regards, Arthur Loughran University of Paisley >>> [log in to unmask] 14/10/2004 2:55:55 pm >>> 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.
