RaiderCanvas - Import Course Content

Copy Content From Another Canvas Course Using the Course Import

You can copy course content such as assignments, modules, pages, and discussions from previous Canvas courses into existing courses. You can also bulk migrate quizzes from Classic Quizzes to New Quizzes.

You can only copy content from courses in which you are enrolled as a user whose role has the Manage Course Content permission of Course Content - Add enabled.

The Import Course Content option allows you to copy content into existing courses. 

Notes:

• Importing a course more than once may have unintended consequences. If you import content into a new course, edit the content in the new course, and later import the previous content again, the imported content will override the existing content.
• If you copy all content or include course settings in selected content, the grade posting policy from the original course will override the grade posting policy in the new course. The participation dates from the original course will override the participation dates in the new course. Additionally, imported assignments will retain their assignment posting policy and participation dates from the original course.
• When a course is copied that includes a new quiz with an item bank, the item bank is shared with the new course automatically.
