As an instructor, you can share individual discussions in your course with other instructors at your institution. You can also copy an individual discussion into another course. When you share a discussion, any assets within that discussion (images, files, etc.) will be included in the shared file.
Notes:
- To share course content, you must have the Course Content - add / edit / delete permission enabled.
- Shared content does not count against course or user quotas.
- You can use the Send To option to send course content to yourself.
