Hi, I'm a teacher and my course already closed, but I need to continue using it. How can I reopen it?
@PALOMAMORENO ...
You might need to have a conversation with your school's Canvas administrator or someone from their Online Learning / eLearning / Distance Education department team about re-opening your course. There may be policies and procedures in place already regarding this. Also, I'm curious to know what you mean by "need to continue using it". Do you mean that you just need to access course content from a past semester for a bit longer? Do you mean that you are wanting to use the same course for a new semester with new students? If the latter is true, this isn't a recommended practice at most schools. Rather, you'd want to have a new course shell created and then import (copy) the contents from the previous course into the new course. Again, I would recommend having a conversation with your Ed Tech team at your school to see what they recommend. Good luck!
If you still need to collect and grade student work for a student who has an Incomplete grade, then you need to talk with your institution.
If you simply want to edit content for next semester, then you have two options:
When you import content, I strongly recommend that you "remove" the dates. Also, I recommend that you choose the option to import "selected" content so you can choose what you want to bring over.
How can I import outcomes and outcome groups from previous class sections to a new class section/ new term class without having to rewrite all of the outcomes individually?
Instructure has recommended that my institution use You-Attend instead of Roll Call Attendance. I'm having a hard time finding information on it in the guides. Does anyone use You-Attend? Any advice, recommendations, or resources to share?
Our college would like to disable the Core Canvas tool "Syllabus" by default, so that it automatically doesn't show on Course Navigation menus. Is that possible? A fellow admin asked our CSM about disabling Syllabus by default, but the CSMs may be understandably busy at the moment. Below I rounded up some past comments…
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…
