At the beginning of this year, we were made aware of an issue during course copy related to course files where these links would not migrate correctly to the new course as they refer to the original course. As a result course links appear broken in the new course and have to be re-uploaded in the new course. Efforts are currently in progress to resolve this complex issue and we are looking to enable bulk migration toward the end of August for the many teachers who are doing their course copies at that time.
When you have rich content in a canvas quiz, and copy that content to a new course, some work has to be done to ensure those connections are valid in the new course. Currently canvas does this when copying a Classic Quiz to a Classic Quiz and the work we did at the beginning of the year does this when copying a New Quiz to a New Quiz. This current work covers copying Classic Quizzes to New Quizzes into a new course.
As a refresher, here are the ways that Classic Quizzes can be (or will be able to be) migrated into New Quizzes:
|
Migration path (use case) |
Description |
Status |
|
Migrate (Single migration) |
Classic Quizzes to New Quizzes in the same course User clicks on the kebab menu for a Classic quiz and selects “Migrate”. The process creates a new New Quizzes quiz with the same content as the migrated Classic Quiz in the same course. |
Fixed (see Blog Post) |
|
Course copy with the Import as New Quizzes flag on (“Bulk migration”) |
Classic Quizzes to New Quizzes in a different course User navigates to Course Settings/Copy This Course and selects Import Quizzes as New Quizzes. The process creates a new course and copies Classic Quizzes from the source course as New Quizzes to the new course. |
Fix in Progress |
|
API for Course Copy |
Classic Quizzes to New Quizzes in a different course Migration will also be available through the API for course copy when fix is enabled. (Documentation to come) |
Contingent on fix above |
