Click "Copy."

Note: Depending on the size of the content which is being copied, it may take a few minutes. Be Patient.

Copying Content from Course to Course

When copying Student Resource Collections, it will be necessary for teachers to import any textbook links that may be involved from the HUB Library, and then "tree-link" those textbook links to the appropriate icon in the Student Resource Guide. The example below show the process for correctly linking to the AP Human Geography textbook. This process would be the same for other textbooks. First, click on the folder for AP Human Geography in the Course Tree of the course Secondary Curriculum -- School Name."

Copying Content from Course to Course

In this example, you already see the link to the HUB Library for the AP Human Geography textbook. If you did not see that link, you would click on the AP Human Geography folder and then click the +Add button to add new content to that folder. When you click that +Add button, you should see what is shown in the picture below.

Now, you will want to select Content from library. After you choose Content from library as the type of content that you want to add, you will be taken to the library search page. You would then search by publisher (see attached list) or you can search by the title of the book or resource.

Copying Content from Course to Course

Right click on AP Human Geography and select Copy Link Address. Now click on the Student Resource Guide--AP Human Geography page.
