Is it possible to use SIS Data Uploads to batch import course content?

Question

My team and I are tasked with updating Canvas shells with previously used course content. These shells already have student data/enrollments in them.

This means that every semester, we must manually import data and update due dates to a large number of courses.

Obviously, this can't keep going on forever. I've seen rumor that one could batch this task using SIS Data:

Multiple imports, Bulk Importing of courses?

Does anyone know how/if this is possible?
