In setting up a fall semester course, I inadvertently downloaded the wrong course and the wrong semester. Is there a way to either delete or start over so I don't have to change all the dates and content?
Hello @ThomasSheeran ...
Yes, there is a way to do this. You said you had imported (copied) the wrong content from a past course into the up-coming Fall semester course. Go into your up-coming Fall course, and then click on your course "Settings" link on the left-hand course navigation menu. On the right side of the screen that appears, click on the "Reset Course Content" link. This will essentially give you a new, empty course shell to use to copy content from a past course into your Fall course. Just be sure, before you click on "Reset Course Content", that you do not need any of the content in that course. Once the course has been "reset", you'll be able to re-import content from any other course you want.
How do I reset course content?
Just for some more detail on this...what the "reset" function actually does is creates a brand new Course ID number (your Course ID can be found in the URL of your course) and automatically moves all your enrollments from the current course to the new course for you. Everything appears seamless to the end user, and there shouldn't be any issues with doing this.
I hope this helps a bit. Sing out if you have any issues...thanks!
A recent change my students have been complaining about is that they now have to wait for Canvas to process submissions so that it can be displayed within the browser before they can check that the submission worked. When the servers are heavily loaded I have seen student need to wait 5 minutes for this. When submitting at…
If I access to the student card I can see the recent messages, but I would like to see all the messages, not only the recent. Thank you
We are testing a third party integration from our college's ERP provider. We have connected it to our test environment. It seems to have very few features and options. So, just wondering if there is a way to monitor API calls. I was able to use the DAPClient in Python to download canvas_logs in our production environment.…
To the Canvas Product Team, I am writing to request a new global or course-level setting for the Rich Content Editor (RCE). Currently, when images are uploaded or embedded, Canvas defaults to displaying the full image. For many lab-based and data-heavy courses—such as my current molecular biology lab course—we often need…
Our Spanish department uses New Quizzes/Essay question type for students to record themselves talking using the record media function in the RCE. They did this all last year. However, now when the students log in to take the quize, the upload/record media icon isn't available to them. Is this a new issues? Anyone have any…
