It is an effective way of dealing with separate courses that have the same content, so you don\u2019t have to upload materials to more than one course. More information is <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.aber.ac.uk\/e-learning\/2025\/06\/12\/merging-courses-2025-26\/\">available on the blog<\/a>. Some cases where this might be useful are\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"color: initial\">Modules are taught the same content but there\u2019s a module available for 2<\/span><sup style=\"color: initial\">nd<\/sup><span style=\"color: initial\"> and 3<\/span><sup style=\"color: initial\">rd<\/sup><span style=\"color: initial\"> years.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Modules that bring together different degree schemes and have different module IDs, e.g. dissertation modules.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Courses aren\u2019t merged automatically so you will either need to merge them via our new <a href=\"https:\/\/faqs.aber.ac.uk\/index.php?id=9506\">Module Partners tool<\/a> or by emailing <a href=\"mailto:elearning@aber.ac.uk\">elearning@aber.ac.uk<\/a> . If your courses were merged last year, you need to merge them again for 2025-26. If you want to check whether your courses have already been merged, you can use Module Partners (or email <a href=\"mailto:elearning@aber.ac.uk\">elearning@aber.ac.uk<\/a>) \u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Students will see the module code and title of whichever course they are registered on. If you find that students can\u2019t see content in courses that you think are merged, please check in Module Partners or email <a href=\"mailto:elearning@aber.ac.uk\">elearning@aber.ac.uk<\/a> to check.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve also had questions about enrolments \u2013 information about how enrolments work is available in our <a href=\"https:\/\/faqs.aber.ac.uk\/index.php?id=9382\">Access to Blackboard Courses<\/a> FAQ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note: we produced the summary of our most common support queries using Microsoft Copilot.<br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We\u2019ve had a look at all the queries that came into the elearning@aber.ac.uk inbox over September to see what the most common query was.
