Course Copy a Course that has Blueprint Content in it

[KevinAustinEWU]

When doing a course copy from a course that has blueprint content pushed to it, will the course copy include the blueprint content (as static content)?

Obvously the blueprint course will not automatically sync to the new course, nor would we want it to.

I would not want the blueprint content to come with the course import, as I would rather push potentially new content to the new course using the blueprint tool.

Having the blueprint content automatically come would eliminate the utility of pushing out blueprint content.

Does anyone know?

@KevinAustinEWU Welcome!

Yes, the course copy will include anything in the course, included blueprinted content. You'll unfortunately need to do a selective import if you don't want the blueprinted content to come over.

That is what I thougnt, and it is a bummer, as most faculty just go with "Select All Content" without thinking.

Perhaps there should be a "Ignore Blueprint Content" checkbox selected by default on the course copy settings.

This just kinda defeats the purpose of the blueprint tool.

Can I nest blueprint courses? A blueprint in a blueprint? There maybe a different way to do this?

I have 55 sections on four different days. Ideally I want to blueprint them all with content 1, then make version 1a for Mondays and copy that to 15 sections. Continue pattern for Tues, Wed, Thurs...

I guess I would just create multiple original blueprints one for each day. However, the problem is I have a subaccount but I can't setup new courses in it. I need to use the subaccount (I think) beoncause I have outcomes setup to rubrics there - or maybe I don't have to use a subaccount course for a blueprint? can it even be an org?
