How do I send a discussion to another instructor?
As an instructor, you can share individual discussions in your course with other instructors at your institution. You can also copy an individual discussion into another course. When you share a discussion, any assets within that discussion (images, files, etc.) will be included in the shared file.
Notes:
- To share course content, you must have the Course Content - add / edit / delete permission enabled.
- Shared content does not count against course or user quotas.
- You can use the Send To option to send course content to yourself.
