Combine Blackboard Course Shells
Instructors who teach multiple sections of the same course may prefer to manage those sections through a single cross-listed course with associated child courses.
Important Note: Courses must be combined BEFORE adding course content to the Blackboard course shell. After courses are combined, a new shell will be created. Any content added to course shells prior to the combine will be lost! You must also combine courses BEFORE activating the course.
