I am new to Canvas - my first day--and migrating from Blackboard which will end in the Fall semester. I have been able to upload a past course from the Fall of 2023 into Canvas. I need to make sure when I Publish I only make it visible to one student who needs the course visible for the Spring. Is there a way to do that?
@BenjaminLowe1 ...
Typically what schools do is set up brand new course shells each semester rather than re-using the same course. This way, you can keep your students separated per semester, and you can easily copy course content from semester to semester. Schools usually have some sort of SIS (Student Information System) in place that automatically sends course shells and enrollments to Canvas...so there is really no work you'd need to do on your part for that. I would suggest that you have a conversation with your school's Canvas administrator or someone from your school's Online Learning / eLearning / Distance Education team on what their process looks like. They would be able to give you the best advice as it relates to your courses. Essentially, your one student for the Spring 2024 semester would be loaded into a completely separate course from the students who were in the Fall 2023 semester.
As far as copying content from one course to another is concerned, you'll want to use the instructions in this Guide:
How do I copy content from another Canvas course using the Course Import tool?
You'll want to be logged into your new Spring 2024 course as you follow these instructions...as you'll be selecting your Fall 2023 course when choosing which content to import (copy) into the Spring 2024 course. This short video also shows how to use the course import tool.

I hope this will all be helpful for you. Let us know if you have any questions...thanks!
@Chris_Hofer's advice is spot on.
At my community college, students are automatically enrolled in my Canvas shells through SIS. When I publish my course, all students are enrolled in it will have equal access to it. It is not possible to limit access to just one student.
If that student is the only student enrolled in the course, they should be the only one to see it, right?
I'm missing something.
Look under "People" and see who is enrolled in the course.
Enhance your access to articles, forums, and events—and to participate by sharing insights, engaging in discussions, and connecting with your network of edtech peers.
Cordial saludo Actualmente estamos presentando una inconsistencia en New Quizzes al momento de realizar la migración y posterior edición de las evaluaciones. Específicamente, al intentar modificar una pregunta y eliminar una de sus opciones de respuesta, el sistema no permite ejecutar dicha acción. Con el fin de descartar…
Our institution is setting up 9 institutional outcomes in Canvas. Several of our outcomes have multiple skill sets within the rubric. For example: Critical Reading – Skill Set A Critical Reading – Skill Set B Critical Reading – Skill Set C Our understanding is that Canvas Outcomes data reports can provide the overall/total…
I am just curiousas to why there is not a field to enter a description for an outcome at the account level? Or at least edit the rating when you attach/link an account level outcome to a rubric. When you create a new criterion for a rubric, you enter a decription for a rating, but for an account level outcome.
We use a pre- post- model to measure learning which requires student-question matching from two time periods. This requires exporting quiz data to CSV to do the analysis properly. (I can get into more detail if needed.) The New Quizzes Student Analysis CSV export has repeated blocks of ItemID then columns related to that…
Hello! A caution to my fellow Admins and support folks that Instructure updated their live-chat link (the one in the "(?) Help" menu, if you license their Support Chat service) fairly recently, but the old broken one is still online and appears as if it still functions. If someone hits the old link, after entering their…
