Copy Canvas Course: 10-4 Roger That

I have a 10-17 (Urgent Business) for high school instructors who give semester credits for your course! Happy Holidays, at the end of the semester you will get the gift of a new course once the fall course concludes at the end of the semester. 

10-9: Let me repeat my message! It will soon be time to copy your fall Canvas course over to your spring semester course shell created for you! Don’t worry! Your fall course is not going away, it will just be concluded for the fall semester. You will still have access to it, but the students will not.

If that is a 10-4 (affirmative), let’s walk through how to copy your course over to your new course shell. This will include content such as assignments, modules, pages, discussions, etc from your previous course.

In your new spring semester course shell, click on your Settings link in your left course navigation.

On the right of the settings screen, click on Import Course Content link.

Under Import Content, click the drop down menu next to Content Type and select Copy a Canvas Course. When you select "Copy a Canvas Course" more options will open. 

Click in the Search for a course box and type your fall course name. Make sure to check whether you want all content moved to your new course shell or you can specifically select certain content. 

I HIGHLY recommend clicking Adjust events and due dates if you plan on copying any of the content to reuse in the spring semester.

Whatever you import will overwrite/replace any content in the new course.

Once you have all of your ducks in row, click on the blue IMPORT button! You can now continue where you left off in the fall once your spring semester has students enrolled! It could take a while to copy depending on the amount of content.

10-10: transmission complete.
