Are classes converted for instructors or instructors mus convert them one by one?

Hi there, @BorivojeDjokic ...
I think we need some more information from you. Are you an instructor at your school? Are you a Canvas administrator? It almost sounds like your school may be new to Canvas, but I could be wrong. If your school is new to Canvas, your Canvas administrator or your Online Learning team would typically have a plan in place (or they should, anyway) to convert classes from their previous platform to Canvas. This may involve conversations with folks from Instructure (Canvas) to see what course migration options are available. There are also a handful of Guides available here in the Community that can assist with migration of course content:
Again, I think it would help for you to provide some additional information about your question so that we can provide more specifics.
Looking forward to hearing back from you soon!
Could you provide a little more context to what you mean by "converted"? Do you mean from a different system that you previously used before Canvas?
I'm going to take a whack at answering your question under the assumption that you are converting content from a previous LMS system/course system to Canvas. If that assumption is incorrect than just ignore 😁
Course conversion is something that is determined by your institution. In some cases instructors are expected to convert content themselves, in other cases your administration may have made arrangements to convert the content for you. Your best bet is to reach out to those who are supporting Canvas LMS at your institution.
Depending on the type of conversion (the format of your content) Canvas may support methods of importing/converting content. There are a lot of wildcards here that can take this answer a lot of different ways. That's why your best bet is to contact someone locally.
Does anyone have suggestions for bulk aligning questions at the quiz level, not the item bank level? I don't know much about API keys, but would one of these work for a bulk alignment? We have a school that is preparing for accreditation next year and they must get their quiz questions aligned to outcomes. We know they…
The most recent quizzes and question banks (including renames) are not showing up as options in the Course Import Tool. As I was creating a new quiz in one course (Classic), I went to add the questions from the Question Bank, but what I needed wasn't there. I went back to the other course to make sure everything was…
In the wake of the recent Canvas security incident, many instructors are rethinking how they protect their course materials and ensure continuity for students if the LMS becomes unavailable. A common question we’re hearing is how to effectively back up courses “just in case,” especially with an eye toward re‑distributing…
Hi all, Quick question about the Gradebook color status for a 2-part checkpoint discussion. If a student completes the first due date (initial post) but does not complete the required replies by the second due date, is there any way for Canvas to automatically show a color (e.g., missing/late) instead of staying as…
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…
