In Assignments, Quizzes, Discussions, and Pages, you can copy content to another module and share individual content items with another user.

Note: If the content being shared or copied includes other content in the module (such as a quiz that includes a file), only the direct content item selected for sharing/copying will be included. The additional files must be shared/copied individually.

Direct Share with a colleague

The 'Send To' option is used to send content to another user.

Users can search for other users via email address. Content can only be sent to users with staff based roles who can manage course content. Users can be identified by typing at least the first three letters of a user’s name in the search field. Search results display users by name and email address. Select the name of the user when it appears.

The same content may be sent to more than one user by adding other users individually.

When all users have been added and the content has been sent, the window confirms the content has been shared successfully.

Receiving Content

Any user who receives shared content from another user is notified about the content in the User Account menu. Shared content is indicated in the user’s Account icon and also in the Shared Content link.

Users can manage the content item within the page by clicking the Actions menu. Options include previewing the item, importing the item, or removing the item.

Preview: The user can preview the content item directly from the page. The content loads in the same window and the user can close the window after the content is reviewed.
Import: The user can import the content into a module using the same functionality as copying content to another module
Remove: The user can remove the content from the page and take no action. A separate window will display to confirm the removal.

Direct Share to a another module

The 'Copy To' option is used to copy content to another module. You can only copy content to their own modules. Admins can copy content to any module in the account.

To copy content, locate the module where the content should be copied by typing at least the first three letters of a module name in the search field. Search results display nodule by name. Select the name of the module when it appears.

The content can be placed within a specific module in the module, if applicable. This menu is optional.

To use the units option, type at least the first three letters of the unit in the search field. Search results display units by name. Select the name of the units when it appears.

When all fields have been completed and the content has been copied, the window confirms the content copy process has started successfully. The content may take a few minutes to display in the selected module. Give it at lest 2 minutes.
