In case you are a group of institutes / enterprise clients who uses different Teamie instances / sites and want to copy classrooms' materials between your different Teamie instances, you can do it using the Global Classroom Bank.
A Global Classroom Bank works similar to how the Global lesson bank work in Teamie by allowing you to push a classroom (all the materials of a classroom), from one of your sites, to Global Classroom Bank and then copying all those materials to an another classroom on any of your connected Teamie sites / instances.
Materials pushed to the global bank will have a copy created that will be independent of the original material. These cannot be edited in the global bank. Materials can be imported into a class from the global bank which will create another independent copy of the materials. This imported material can then be edited without affecting the original site's copy or the global bank copy.
This article will guide you on:
1. As an instructor, click the Materials of the required classroom from which you wish to push content (materials) to the global classroom bank.
As an administrator also you can push any classroom to the global classroom bank by accessing it from the Manage Classrooms page.
2. On the Materials page of the classroom/module, click the settings icon.

SCORM content (lessons and assignment), H5P content, posts, surveys or student projects are not pushed to the global bank when the copy of the class is created in the global bank.
Any attached rubrics and/or grade scheme will also get copied to the Global Classroom Bank. Lessons with assessment(s) will also work as usual.
