Assign the same template to several rooms

[FlemmingVesterg]

Hi

I have several rooms imported from SIS with different users, they all have a unique SIS ID. Is it possible to put the same template on all of them at once? The template is manually created. Since the rooms af different users I do not think that I can use blueprints.

Best regards

Flemming

Oh, gotcha! The Course Templates do inherit, meaning subaccounts will get the same course template unless you specify otherwise, but if not all courses in these subaccounts should get this template, I think blueprinting would be a better solution here.

Blueprinting will allow you to specifiy which courses get the "template course" (blueprint) and then once you're done blueprinting you can "disassociate" the blueprint, which would still give the course the content needed. Hope that makes sense!

@FlemmingVesterg If by rooms you're referring to courses, then yes, you can use Course Templates to template courses with a basic template that applies to all courses created in an account/sub-account.

Unlike blueprints, once the course is created, if the template is updated, the course is not updated, so you want to be aware of that.

Hi Melody_lam

I have a Course template, but I also have 15 different courses under different sub-accounts and I have to add the same template to all of them. So instead of importing the course from the template in each courses, I was wondering if I just could point out which courses, that Canvas should apply the template to and Canvas will due it manually.

If I make it as a blueprint course all the participants will disappear. I will have to check if the syncronizating will add the participants again.
