Posting content in multiple courses

[KristinAimar]

Is there a way to post content in multiple course like there is in Google Classroom.  This is an ability in Google Classroom to post the content in multiple course that are same rather than cross listing or posting the same content multiple times.  Is this possible?  If not is this an idea that other members have interest in doing.  I understand Cross listing is an option, but it is not a feature that myself and some other teachers using this product are a fan of in Canvas.  

I have tried to take the steps to cross list and done so successfully.  I am just not a fan.

Are there any solutions to my problem?

Hi @KristinAimar ...

Do you have access to Canvas Commons?  One option for you would be to create your content in a "sandbox" course and then share that specific content to Canvas Commons.  Then, once the content has been posted, you can then import that content to all sections of your course via Canvas Commons (rather than importing from a past course or a "master" course).  Once you import the content from Commons to the new courses, if you have any changes that need to be made to all pages at one time, you would update the content in your "sandbox" course, re-share that content to Commons, and then tell Commons to push out those updates to each section.  I like to think of it as "update once, distribute to many".

I'm not exactly sure if this is what you were looking for, but it's the first thing that popped into my mind.  There may be other suggestions, but I thought I'd provide this one for starters.  Hope it might help in some way.

I have 2 suggestions, but they only work if all your courses are indentical or almost identical.

1. I build one course before the semester starts then copy it to the other courses.

2. Create one course and have multiple sections inside it for each of the courses you teach.
