Because there are some features that exist in original courses, that are either not available or will not be enabled in the ultra course, performing a course copy of your entire original course content to populate your ultra course will result in broken and unconverted content. It will be difficult and time consuming to find broken/not converted items and remediate them than it would be to build the course from scratch. A combination of copying individual items from original courses, piecemeal, and building new content within your ultra course is ideal. Copying items into your Ultra course has been simplified and instructions on how to do so can be found here. If you want to start adding content to your course without copying previous content, you can follow instructions found here. Once your course is built in the Ultra Course View, copying an entire course and its content between Ultra courses is seamless. |

ModulesWhy use modules? Use modules when you want to control the flow of the content of the course. Modules allows you to enforce a sequence. Students must complete prerequisite items before moving onto the next item, ensuring that students obtain information systematically. You can organize all course materials into modules using a unit of your choosing, such as days, weeks, chapters or topics. Each module can be populated with files, discussions, assignments, exams and other learning materials, with the knowledge that you have control over the release and access of content. If you do not want to enforce a sequence, modules are a good choice if you would like students to access content using the built in navigation tools of the module. This allows students to move back and forth between materials within a module without having to exit out of the module. Use Modules to:

Folders within ModulesWhy use folders within modules? You can organize all course materials using folders inside a module. The folders can be organized by units, such as days, weeks, chapters or topics. Each folder is then populated with files, discussions, assignments, exams and other learning materials with the knowledge that folders within a module will allow students to move through the contents of those folders without having to navigate to other parts of the course. Students will have access to the back and forward navigation arrows available when accessing content within a module. Use folders within modules to:
