At QCC we ran into the problem of copying a course over and finding duplicate or unwanted course navigation buttons after the copy process was completed. Here are the copy instructions http://www.qcc.cuny.edu/Acc/Documents/Copying_Course_Content_in_Blackboard.pdf Perhaps Sylvie will insert/replace these instructions with her own. Apparently the BB defaults populate every database upon its creation with a set of areas that will appear as buttons. When you copy into it and specify what you are taking over to it there can be duplications. 1. Then you go into the CONTROL PANEL then to MANAGE COURSE MENU and take out the duplicates and unwanted items and arrange the order as you like it. 2. The second way to go about rectifying the situation is to go into the database to receive the copy, go into the CONTROL PANEL then to MANAGE COURSE MENU and "clean it out" and then do your copy. Here are some other instructions concerning the BB course database from the folks at QCC
