How to Duplicate a Wiki

You may want to multiple groups in a class to work from a single, template wiki to ensure that the wiki is set up and pre-populated with content in the same way for all groups. Because each group will need its own copy of the wiki to work on, you should create a main, template survey, and then duplicate that survey, granting read or write access as appropriate to each different wiki.

1. Click Wikis under Communication Tools on the main Faculty Tools page.
2. From the main Course Wikis page, click Duplicate Wiki under Faculty Actions for the appropriate wiki.
3. Enter the new title for the wiki.
4. Grant read or write access as appropriate
5. Click Submit.
