What's the difference between copying a course vs. exporting and importing its contents? When would I do one or the other?

 @kbarclay ,

From my experience there really is no difference other than the number of steps that it takes.  From what I can see, the Copy a Canvas course and the Import Content > Canvas Course Export Package basically does the same thing.  I have only used the export and import of the imscc file when I was moving between instances of Canvas.  Other than that (and possibly wanting the export file for archival purposes) I don't use the export/import process.  The Copy a Canvas course is just faster.
