[ARCHIVED] Connect 2 or more sections

[tajordan]

How can I connect the 2 sections of a course that I am teaching so that when I create an assignment in one section it shows in both sections? Thank you!

Hi  @tajordan ‌,

In Canvas this is known as "Cross-listing" and it's pretty simple.  It can be done by an admin in batch, by an admin course-by-course, or by a teacher within a course..

Here are the instructions for  doing it as a teacher: How do I cross-list a section in a course as an instructor? 

If you already have two course shells created and need them merged, then you'll need to ask an admin to cross-list them for you: https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-10885-4214719646

Thanks for the info.  If I add a section to another of my sections, will the students in one section merge to the students in the other section?  I need to keep them separate.  What I want to do is enter quizzes only in one section and be able to have them display in both sections.  ( I do not want to have to create the same quizzes twice).

Look forward to your reply.

Sections will remain distinct within your course - allowing you to create a quiz once and give it to two different sets of students
