[ARCHIVED] Copy a course

[aekler]

I am teaching two sections of Spanish 2 next semester. They are to be the exact same course, just at different times. I spent hours inputting all of the modules, assignments, etc. for my Spanish 1 course this semester, and am wondering if there is a way that I could put all of the information into one section and then copy it all to another without having to manually type it all and organize it for both classes.

Thank you.

Hi Alexandria,

Yes you can easily import all of the content from one course into another.  Check out this guide How do I copy content from another Canvas course using the Course Import tool? 

Another thing you might think about is to cross-list the two courses into a single Canvas course.  If the content is all nearly the same it really saves time and you can do things like set different due dates for each section and view one section at a time in the gradebook.  https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-12983-4152718703
