Interterm and Spring 2021 courses are now available in Canvas.

Before you hit “copy all” please check the following resources and avoid the most common issues.

Best Practice:

  • Do NOT “Copy All” when copying from one course to another. You will end up with more than you bargained for.
  • Use caution when copying the Calendar. It will copy events from the PAST which you likely don’t want in your future course.
  • Do NOT copy things more than once into the same course. If you copy the same item to the same course more than once, the item you previously copied will be overwritten with the newly copied item.
  • Always run the Link Validator after a copy to check for any broken links or links pointing to the wrong course.

 

The following items don’t copy  or don’t copy well, so expect to recreate these items from scratch:

  • Turnitin assignments
  • 3rd party integrations (Flipgrid, publisher content, etc)
  • Calendar items
  • Zoom meetings

Find and copy from your Bb Archive or any Canvas Course
