When I import a course using a Canvas Course Export Package, how do I change the dates so assignment's due dates reflect the new term dates?
Hello @BJCarl ...
If you are importing course content from one course to another within the same school Canvas environment, you don't necessarily need to first download the course export package and then import it into your new course. It's much easier, in my opinion, to just use the directions in:
How do I copy content from another Canvas course using the Course Import tool?
...where you would want to be logged into the new course (the course that doesn't have any content in it yet), and then as you are following these instructions, you'll be selecting the course where the content currently lives. This will import (copy) the content from course to course for you, and you should be able to adjust event and due dates as well.
Now, if you've you're already past that process, there's another way to edit all your assignment due dates on one screen...and that is via your "Assignments" index page. Check out this Guide:

Hopefully this will be of some help to you. Again, if you're working within the same school Canvas environment, it shouldn't be necessary to first export a file and then re-upload the file to a new course. Save yourself a step there and just import/copy content from one course to another. 🙂
We are looking to take better advantage of the portfolio offerings. Currently, it doesn't appear that evaluation portfolios are ready for multi-semester updating at the higher ed level. But with showcase portfolios, how are other instructors keeping track that students have completed the requirements? Just through visiting…
It would appear that there is a new interface for speedgrader and the rubric is now defaulted on, rather than having the tab with the option to use the rubric. I do not use the rubric unless I am deducting points. That means that I do not need rubrics very often. It looks like I can opt for "show old speedgrader UI" and…
Hello, I have some general, technical questions about Canvas quiz and activity logs and their interpretation. I am trying to better understand how these logs work from a technical perspective and what they are designed to capture. I am not asking about any specific case. Specifically, I am hoping to clarify: What types of…
Hi There, We are in the process of transitioning to Canvas this year and were wanting to connect with any other MYP schools to see how you setup Assignment and grading under your modules. Or you could guide us to any resources you may have.
In the "How do I use the Learning Mastery Gradebook" page, under "Student scores" (https://community.instructure.com/en/kb/articles/660932-how-do-i-use-the-learning-mastery-gradebook-to-view-outcome-results-in-a-course#view-student-scores), the displayed gradebook shows a little colorful square and also points for each…
