8/19/2024 - 2024 Fall Term Start
With the Fall term now starting, we thought it would be helpful to put together a few quick guides to some of the more commonly asked questions. For other questions not mentioned, please see the On-Demand Training Resources on our LMS Support page.
How Do I Reuse Materials from a Past Canvas Class?
You can copy course content such as assignments, modules, pages, and discussions from previous Canvas courses into existing courses. You only have access to copy content from courses in which you are enrolled as a user with instructor permissions.
For instructions on copying a course see the Canvas Instructor Guide: How do I copy content from another Canvas course using the Course Import tool?
Notes:
- Where Blackboard would push content from the old class to the new, Canvas instead pulls content into the new class from the old ones. So, when importing, make sure you are starting in this Falls course.
- Course imports may not include all content. For more details, please see the import content section in the Canvas Basics Guide.
- Importing a course more than once may have unintended consequences. If you import content into a new course, edit the content in the new course, and later import the previous content again, the imported content will override the existing content.
- If you copy all content or include course settings in the selected content, the grade posting policy from the original course will override the grade posting policy in the new course. The participation dates from the original course will override the participation dates in the new course. Additionally, imported assignments will retain their assignment posting policy and participation dates from the original course.
How Do I "Merge" (Cross-List) Courses in Canvas?
If you have multiple sections of a course that meet at the same time, you can choose to merge those shells into one. This will take the enrollments from one course and move them to the other course.
For instructions on Cross-Listing courses see the Canvas Instructor Guide: How do I cross-list a section in a course as an instructor?
Cross-listing should be done while courses are unpublished. Coursework is retained with the course, not with the section enrollments, so if a published course is cross-listed, all cross-listed enrollments will lose any associated assignment submissions and grades.
To cross-list a course, you must know the name of the course or the course ID into which you are cross-listing. However, using a course ID is a better way to confirm you are cross-listing a section into the correct course. See the section on Identifying Courses on our LMS support page for details on finding the Course Code or Course ID to use when cross-listing courses.
Sections can only be in one course at a time. So, if you accidentally cross-list a section into the wrong course, you can re-cross-list the section into the correct course if needed.
If you cross-listed the courses in the wrong order and lost access to the course that had your content, we can de-cross-list the courses for you. Please send us an email with the information in the section on Identifying Courses so we can find your incorrectly cross-listed course.
Recorded Walkthrough
The video below will begin 7 min into the video where the discussion on Cross-Listing begins.
How Do I Make My Course Available to Students?
Courses are not made available by default so you may choose when or if you want students to have access to them. When you are added to courses you will see them in the Unpublished Courses list on your Dashboard and in the Courses list.
For instructions on how to make courses available to students see the Canvas Instructor Guide: How do I publish a course?
For questions about how to adjust course start and end dates or to restrict student access outside of the set dates, see our guide on Course Access and Dates.
Reminder
Please remember that you will also need to publish all the content in your course that you want to be available to students when the course is published. Guides for publishing different types of content are listed below.
