If you have taught with Perusall before, you can easily migrate your content, assignments, and settings into a new course while keeping your previous student roster and work safely archived.
When you first set up your new course, you will taken to Step 1: Welcome in the setup wizard, where you can choose how you want to build it.
- Create your new course through your LMS (if integrated) or by clicking Create Course on your Perusall account homepage for a standalone course.
- Upon launching your new course, select Copy existing course.
- Choose whether you want to Copy materials from one of my courses or Copy materials from another instructor's course, using a copy code. (Note: To use a copy code, obtain it from the other instructor under Settings > Access > Instructors).
- Select your materials and assignments.
Customize your copy options
Once you select your materials, configure how your content and settings transfer over:
- Copy course settings: Overwrites the settings in your new course with the configuration of the selected course.
- Adjust all deadlines: Automatically shifts assignment due dates by the same amount so the first assignment falls on your specified date.
-
Copy instructor comments from old course to new course: Copies instructor comments that start a thread. Comments posted by an instructor as a reply to an existing thread will not be copied. Student comments will not be copied.
If the old course has multiple instructors, and the author of a copied comment is not an instructor in this course, you will be made the author of that comment in this course.
- Copy checkpoints from old course to new course: Imports course checkpoints from the original assignments.
- Copy rubrics: Imports all rubrics from the source course.
- Copy scoring templates: Pulls all custom scoring templates from your old course into your new course library.
- Copy group sets: Copies the group set structure (excluding individual student memberships) and preserves associations with copied documents and assignments.
Click Next step to finalize the setup process.
Copying items after course setup
If you decide to bring over additional materials or assignments after completing the initial setup wizard, navigate to the Library tab on your course home page and select Add Content > Material from another course.
