I created outcomes (in a group) and rubrics for one course. How do I copy those outcomes (in a group) and rubrics to another course in Canvas?
Good morning, @WendyBollhoefer ...
All of this should be possible. First, you'll want to log into your "English 2" course (the one with the red course card image you've shown in your attached screenshot). Then, you'll want to use the following Guide:
How do I select specific content as part of a course import?
During these steps, you'll want to indicate where the content (outcomes and rubrics) currently live. I like to think of this as the "source" course. The "destination" course, as I like to call it, which you are already logged into is where the content will be going to.
When you get the option to select the content, you'll see a "Learning Outcomes" folder. You can click on the arrow next to it to expand the list, and then you can select an entire folder (group) of outcomes that you want to copy from the "source" course to your "destination" course.
The same holds true for rubrics. Find the "Rubrics" folder (just above the "Learning Outcomes" folder), and then you'll be able to select any of the rubrics that you want to bring over to that course, too.
I hope this will help to answer your questions. Let Community members know if you have any other questions...thanks!
We're working on improving preferred name visibility in Canvas and have been trying to explore all possibilities for showing preferred names in the roster and/ or gradebook. We understand that according to this help documentation, short name maps to Canvas display name. This documentation and this Canvas community…
We use course pacing to manage due dates, because we run ~20 something courses each quarter and manually setting due dates would be a nightmare. Several courses have two core topics. We want to allow students to choose which of these they will pursue first. Is there any way to configure multiple course paces with different…
Hoping someone can explain for me. We're using pacing to avoid manually dating regular assignments each quarter, but the dates I see are based on when the course was instantiated, while students see dates based on when they were added to the course by [backend software I don't know anything about, presumably]. If I set…
Has anyone else had issues with an influx of duplicate users in Canvas? Ours is currently in the form of an email that already exists, becoming a new user - and not automatically merging with the user ID with the same email that also is linked to our SIS ID correctly as well. For example, user 1 is xyz@gmail.com without a…
Canvas Portfolios provide a powerful platform for students to document their learning journey, reflect on their progress, and showcase competencies. However, in programs where multiple educators are involved in assessment—such as team teaching, moderation, or competency-based evaluation—there are important questions about…
