This help document will show you how to copy an existing course. 


**NOTE** Your Walch courses cannot be edited or modified. In order to make changes to a course, you will need to first make a copy of the course. You can then make changes or updates to the copied version.


Course Manager

 

Go to the Content menu at the top right of the screen and select the Course Manager option to open the course manager window.


 

You will see two tabs:

  • Courses assigned to me: These are the courses that have been assigned to you by the district.
  • Courses created by me: These are courses that you have created or copied from other courses.



Copy Course


Select the tab that contains the course that you want to copy. **NOTE** All of your Walch assigned courses will be under the Courses assigned to me tab.


Under the Actions column, located on the far right, click the ellipsis menu of the course that you want to duplicate to expand the menu options, and then select "Make a Copy." The three vertical dots are the ellipsis menu.



You will be prompted with a warning message letting you know that the original course will remain intact and updates or changes you make to the copied course will not impact the original course.   


Click the YES button to complete copying of the course. 



You will get a completion message once the course has been successfully copied. Click the OK button to continue.



**NOTE** The copied course will be saved in DRAFT mode and not visible in your course listing until it has been published. You will need to publish it to use it in your classes.


Publish Copied Course


To edit and publish the copied course:


  1. Under course manager, go to the "Courses created by me" tab.
  2. At the top right of the screen, select the "Show Drafts" checkbox. 
  3. Your unedited, copied course will begin with the title "Copy of course...".
  4. Under the Actions column, select the pencil icon to the right of the copied course you want to publish. This will open the course in edit mode.



After you have made your updates and changes to the copied course, click the Publish button located at the top right.



The course will now be published and available for you to use with your classes.  


**NOTE* You will need to assign the course to a class first in order to use the course materials with that class.
