If a new teacher has existing teachers in the building send/share classes and lessons will the new teacher change the existing modules/assignments/due dates if they edit them for their classes. We used this method to Import them:
How do I copy content from another Canvas course u... - Instructure Community - 1012
Thanks for the input and help in advance!
Hi there, @jonathan_bruce ...
Nope. When you use the Course Import Tool (using the Guide that you linked to in your question), content is imported from one course to another. If you then change content in one course, that will NOT change the content in the other course. Essentially, both courses can be treated as completely separate.
Now, the only thing that I can think of that would somewhat contradict my above feedback is if you were using Canvas Commons. There's a process using Canvas Commons where you can share a course to Canvas Commons. And then, people can import the course to their own course shells from Canvas Commons. If you make a change in the original course, you can then push that update out to all courses that had imported it from Canvas Commons. (There's a bit more to it than that, but this is essentially the process.) I know you didn't necessarily ask about Canvas Commons, and I'm assuming you're not using Commons in this way, but I thought I'd share.
So, in summary...the two courses you are asking about don't really have any connections once you import (copy) content. They are treated as completely separate courses.
I hope this helps in some way!

Is anyone other than me really bothered by the big red dots that appear in front of students' names if they haven't submitted the assignment? I find them really distracting, and my first instinct is to think that they mean I need to check on something with that student. It's like a stoplight, and personally, I don't find…

For those of you who use the Learning Mastery Gradebook in your courses, what are your thoughts about the updates? Do they improve your understanding of students' outcome mastery? What about the interface? The old version certainly needed some improvements. I did like the pie charts, however. Hovering the mouse pointer…

I have now had a few cases of students' responses in New Quizzes not being recorded. Normally, students get a connection error and can restart, but here they get new questions one at a time with no indication of a problem until they try to submit the exam and find that they can't submit it. Students are losing 20-90% of…
