I've seen that using Canvas Commons as a template enables one to make a change in Commons and push it to a live course. Is it possible to do this any other way besides using Commons?
Hi @kewing,
To start off, I wouldn't really say that changes can be pushed directly to courses through commons. When content in commons is updated, teachers using that content would see a notification that the content has been updated when they go back in commons, and prompted to update their course to the new version. In all likelihood, I think most courses wouldn't get their content updated using this method.
If you want to centrally control content and be able to push an updated to courses with a single button type of interface, I think Blueprint Courses would likely be the solution for you. There is a nice Blueprint Courses Overview video that covers the basics of what Blueprint Courses are and how to set up and use them. If this seems like a fir for you, and you need more detailed info, here are some guides that may be helpful:
I hope his info helps!

This is my first time using the new discussion "checkpoints". I'm hoping the multiple due dates are effective, but using the "checkpoints" does seem to create other problems: They only allow for ONE "reply to topic". The way I use discussions in some of my classes is to allow for students to ask MULTIPLE questions per…
I tried the Quick Reassess feature today. Once I approved the questions and created the assessment it went to the tracker for Block 1. But I can't find the new assessment in my assessments to add to Blocks 2 & 4. If I have to recreate for each class, they won't have the same questions. I also cannot find the option to…
