How do I duplicate a course including all assessments and documents with a new title?

I have several single semester courses that I have to duplicate for semester 2 this year. Is there a quick way that I can duplicate these courses and simply change the due dates on assignments and quizzes? I'm sure there is but I'm a long way from proficient with canvas as used by Queensland Education (Q Learn)

Hi there, @KeithDICKINSON ...

There sure is!  First, I assume that you have at least one course that has content in it.  And second, I assume that you also have a course shell that does not have any content in it.  For example, If you had taught a course this past Spring and now you want to copy that content into an upcoming Fall semester, you can absolutely do that.

1. Log in to your course that does not have any content.  Think of this as your "destination" course.
2. Follow the steps outlined in this Guide: How do I copy content from another Canvas course u... - Instructure Community - 1012
3. Be sure as you are going through these steps that you choose your course that does have content in it (think of this as your "source" course)...as you will be copying/importing content from your "source" course into your "destination" course.
4. During this import process, there is an option to adjust events and due dates.  You can choose to do that now, or there is a screen that you can update all your assignment due dates and availability dates all on one page later on.  (See How do I bulk update due dates and availability da... - Instructure Community - 1195)

Hopefully these resources will be helpful for you.  Please let Community members know if you have any other questions about this process.  Thanks, and good luck!
