Copying a section provides a convenient option of “linking” the copied section to your original and sending this copy to another instructor.  This allows you to update and create assignments in your original section and automatically synchronize these updates with any linked instructor sections. This saves time and makes it easy for to maintain consistent assignment content across different sections of your course.
To copy a section:

1. Click the View Course AND Sections Options button <a onClick="window.open('/olcweb/cgi/pluginpop.cgi?it=gif::::/sites/dl/free/0000065899/564496/btn_ViewCrsSectOptions.gif','popWin', 'width=NaN,height=NaN,resizable,scrollbars');" href="#"><img valign="absmiddle" height="16" width="16" border="0" src="/olcweb/styles/shared/linkicons/image.gif"> (2.0K)</a> if you haven’t already to reveal the course and section options menu.
2. Click Copy Section.  The Copy Section page appears displaying the name of the section you are copying.
3. Select one of the three copy options and select a section to copy.
   

Copy Options

Copy a section for my own course
This option is a simple duplication of an existing section that will be added to your own course. 

• Enter a Section Name for this copy. By default, Homework Manager adds the prefix “Copy 1 of” before the original section name. You can change this to something more meaningful.
• Enter the Web Address for the copied section. By default, Homework Manager adds the prefix “copy1of” to the original section Web address name.

Copy a section for another instructor with a link to the original
This option will create a linked copy and allow you to send it to another instructor to use. This new linked copy will get updated when you update your original section.  For example, if you add a new assignment to your section, the linked section you copied to another instructor will also have the new assignment added to their linked section.

• Enter the email address of the instructor you are sending this linked copy to. The email address must be the address they are using to sign into Homework Manager.
• Enter a Section Name for this copy. By default, Homework Manager adds the prefix Copy 1 of before the original section name. You can change this to something more meaningful.
• Enter the Web Address for the copied section. By default, Homework Manager adds the prefix copy1of to the original section Web address name.
• If you have more than one instructor you would like to send this linked copy to, click “Send this linked copy to another instructor” and fill out the same information for this additional instructor.  Repeat this process for each instructor you want to send a linked section copy to.

Copy a section for another instructor without a link to the original
This option will create a copy not linked to the original and allow you to send it to another instructor to use. This copy will NOT get updated when you update your original and is a simple way to share your section’s assignments.

• Enter the email address of the instructor you are sending this linked copy to. The email address must be the address they are using to sign into Homework Manager.
• Enter a Section Name for this copy. By default, Homework Manager adds the prefix Copy 1 of before the original section name. You can change this to something more meaningful.
• Enter the Web Address for the copied section. By default, Homework Manager adds the prefix “copy1of” to the original section Web address name.
• If you have more than one instructor you would like to send this linked copy to, click Send this copy to another instructor and fill out the same information for this additional instructor.  Repeat this process for each instructor you want to send a section copy to.

Once you have completed all of the information for the copied section, click Save to create the copy. Click Cancel to return to My Courses without copying the section.

If you sent other instructors a copy of your section, they will receive a notification and be asked to accept the copy.

Once your copy has been saved, you are returned to My Courses and a message appears at the top the page confirming your section has been copied successfully.

To copy additional sections, simply repeat the process above for each section you want to copy.
