Is it possible for Canvas to have an "Copy to All" button for assignments, modules, files, etc? Or a select dropdown menu to choose classes?
Hi @JohnnyAppleseed ...
This would probably be a new feature request to have this kind of functionality within Canvas...where you could place a checkmark next to "x" number of courses and the content would automatically be imported (copied) into those courses. The entire feature idea process is undergoing some changes at the moment, and you can read more about that at this link:

All that being said, I do have one work-around for you to consider. You could use Canvas Commons to accomplish something similar to what you are requesting. You would either share an entire course to Canvas Commons, or you could share just parts of a Canvas course to Canvas Commons. Once the course and/or the individual parts are shared to Canvas Commons, you would import that content from Commons instead of importing directly from the course. You'd need to enroll yourself as the instructor in any of the courses you wanted to import that content from Commons into...because you'll have an opportunity to select multiple courses all at one time...as you are hoping to do. I'm not sure how much you've used Commons in the past, but I wanted to just point out that if you do share an entire course to Commons, you cannot then choose parts of that course you've shared to import into other courses. Those other parts of the course must be first shared separately to Commons, and then you can import them to the other courses...similar to how I described importing the full course from Commons.
Would this process work for your needs? Hoping this might save you a bit of time.
Take care...be well.
I assigned the first draft of an assignment. Each student got rubric comments from me and from one peer. The Speed Grader view gives me a "Select Rubric" menu, allowing me to toggle between my comments and the peer comments. But the Gradebook's "Bulk Download Rubrics" command generates a CSV file with only the peers'…
I am trying to combine one quiz with another quiz. At the moment, I'm going through each quiz and copying the text one line at a time. Is there a way to do this without manually copying and pasting? I don't want to use item banks. Item banks don't show me the actual questions - it just shows a block of text that says…
I was looking for a tool that lets me see all discussion posts made by one student throughout a term but I couldn't find a discussion post aggregator tool. Is there a way to do that? (I tried checking in Settings; also tried using People to see if I could get to posts under a student name. No luck.)
Hi all, I'm looking to see if this has happened for anyone else. A student completed a Classic Quiz and one question was counted wrong that should not have been. In the quiz settings, the instructor entered 9 possible answers for this question. The student entered one of these answers. However, that particular question was…
Looking for the addition of partial credit for alternative format questions in Canvas, like ordering and category/matrix. We can only do it in close drop down, matching, and multiple response.
