Templating New Pages, Assignments, and Discussions

Has anyone written or found some code that can be applied so that whenever a teacher creates a new page or assignment or discussion instead of having that new page, assignment, or discussion be completely blank it can already have our district-approved template on it? We offer page, assignment, and discussion templates in a teachers-only Module that they can duplicate, but would love it if teachers that bypass those templates could still be afforded the templated items whenever they create a brand new item.

this, of course, can be done at the Course Level via Course Templates

this could be a cool feature request that is more granular that drills down to discussion/page/assignment templates

Allow Observers to View Instructor Comments
