It's easy to copy content from one Brightspace course to another—just follow these steps [scroll down if you'd prefer to view a video demonstration]:
STEP 1. Go to the Brightspace course you into which you want to copy content (not the course you'll be copying it from).
STEP 2. Click Tools on the course navigation menu, then click Course Admin on its dropdown menu. This will open the Course Administration page.

STEP 3. Click Import / Export / Copy Components. This will open a page with the same name.

STEP 4. Make sure Copy Components from another Org Unit is selected (it usually is selected by default.), then click the Search for offering button below it. This will open the "Select Course Offering" window.

STEP 8. Click the Copy All Components button at the bottom of the page. (See the note below if you're considering selecting components to copy.) The "Copy Course Components History" page will then open, and you'll see a progress bar on it that indicates the copy process is running. Once it has finished, you'll see a confirmation message.

If you only need to copy part of a course, we still recommend that you copy all of a course's content, then delete content you don't need, rather than selecting components to copy.
This is because when you copy only part of a Brightspace course, sometimes all of content you need isn't included; for example, if you copy an assignment that has a file attached to it, the file may not be included with the copy.
