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:
How do I bulk update due dates and availability dates as an instructor?
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. 🙂

I have been asked to discover whether Canvas Catalog can accept eCheck payments. My thought is that since Catalog is configured to redirect to a payment form at our Payment Gateway, that this might be more a question of configuring an additional option into the Catalog and payment gateway settings. Has anyone done this?

The line between "skills" and "competencies" gets blurry fast, and "learning how to learn" means different things depending on who you ask. We're putting together an Educast 3000 podcast episode on all of it, and your questions will shape the conversation. Curious how to teach students to learn independently, what the…
