Setting up a Sandbox or Base (formerly Master) and copy content into it

Setting up a Sandbox or Base can be helpful as you begin to familiarize yourself with Ultra Course view (and experiment with how you would like to design your course). Copying content from previous courses is easy and can be done one item at a time giving you an opportunity to visualize how your course will look in Ultra.

Note: At the time this video was created, Base courses and organizations were called Masters.

Copying content:
- It is recommended that you do a granular copy, which means copying over only the content you wish to have in your new course rather than doing a full course transition.
- Start in your destination course and copy FROM your other course (could be a previous semester OR the same course).
- Easily copy quizzes to new course; easily copy multiple items.
- You can also use batch edit to delete multiple items from your course from one place.
