Annotation of loncom/html/adm/help/tex/Course_Request_Clone.tex, revision 1.3

1.1       raeburn     1: \label{Course_Request_Clone}
1.2       raeburn     2: You may choose to build your new course by cloning an existing course. If you have Course Coordinator access or have been assigned ``cloner'' rights in an existing course currently in the LON-CAPA system you can search for the course and select it in a pop-up window, launched by the `Select Course' link.
1.1       raeburn     3: 
1.3     ! raeburn     4: Cloning a course will copy all course content, and most course settings.  Student enrollment, performance data and discussion postings will not be copied.  Settings which involve dates (e.g., open dates, due dates, and close dates for availability of course content and online homework problems) will be preserved, shifted by a number of days, or omitted from the copy process, based on your choice for the `Date Shift'.
        !             5: 
        !             6: If the existing course contains URL shortcuts (with format: /tiny/$<$domain$>$/$<$unique six character code$>$), which were originally created using Course Editor $>$ Content Utilities $>$ ``Display/Set Shortened URLs for Deep-linking'', then your options for ``URL shortcuts (for deep linking)'' include:
        !             7: \begin{enumerate}
        !             8: \item All URL shortcuts in the existing course are left alone, and none are created in the new course, or
        !             9: \item All URL shortcuts in the existing course are disassociated from their targets, but instead are now associated with the corresponding items in the new course, or
        !            10: \item All URL shortcuts in the existing course are left alone, and new shortcuts are created for the corresponding items (with their own unique six character codes).
        !            11: \end{enumerate}
        !            12: Note: If you select option 2, the existing course and new course must be in the same domain, and the same user must be the course owner of both courses, for the change to occur.  If either condition is unmet, option 3 will apply instead during the cloning process.
