[ARCHIVED] Can i link assessments in different courses?

[epostehartman]

I'd like to link assessments in 2 different courses - is this possible?

students need to upload a file in one course and we transfer the result. Is it possible to make this automatic? OR can i put a link to the assessment they upload in in the linked assessment details?

Thanks!

Good evening,  @epostehartman  Thank You for posting your question.  Linking content from one course to another is generally not good practice.  The reason being is that usually there is an entirely different set of students in one course compared to another.  Therefore, linking an item in one course to another course would present the student with an error message because the students in one course are not enrolled in the other course.  I see this from time to time when an instructor tries to copy/paste a link from one course into another course rather than using the Course Import Tool.  Does this help to answer your question?
