We have fully prepared courses and sometimes hire adjuncts to teach them. We do not want them to be able to take our course and copy it over to another institution. Right there there is no way to prevent that from happening. We would like a lock on that so that we can lock a course making a faculty member unable to copy it out onto another institution's platform.
@gibsonc As an idea, you can use @Jeff_F's suggestion with some JS + a custom role that doesn't have the Course Content - Add permission attached to them. Then use the JS to detect what role the user has in the course and hide the buttons that way. That being said, this idea may be a good candidate for the Canvas Collaborate Roadmap and we encourage you to add this in as an idea if the solutions here won't meet your needs. Hope this helps!
My recommendation would be to require all faculty members to sign a legal document prohibiting the sharing of your institution's course materials.
Thanks, we do that, but how will you ever know, and will your the school actually invest the resources to folow-through? It seems a simple fix to be able to freeze the copy course button for some courses. I wish they would enable it.
@gibsonc - it is possible to use CSS in the account theme to hide the export and copy buttons. We do that to hide the delete and reset buttons. This solves one problem but then creates another as then those buttons are hidden from everyone. We don't want anyone deleting or resetting so that isn't an issue.

Our institution is setting up 9 institutional outcomes in Canvas. Several of our outcomes have multiple skill sets within the rubric. For example: Critical Reading – Skill Set A Critical Reading – Skill Set B Critical Reading – Skill Set C Our understanding is that Canvas Outcomes data reports can provide the overall/total…
I am just curiousas to why there is not a field to enter a description for an outcome at the account level? Or at least edit the rating when you attach/link an account level outcome to a rubric. When you create a new criterion for a rubric, you enter a decription for a rating, but for an account level outcome.
We use a pre- post- model to measure learning which requires student-question matching from two time periods. This requires exporting quiz data to CSV to do the analysis properly. (I can get into more detail if needed.) The New Quizzes Student Analysis CSV export has repeated blocks of ItemID then columns related to that…
Hello! A caution to my fellow Admins and support folks that Instructure updated their live-chat link (the one in the "(?) Help" menu, if you license their Support Chat service) fairly recently, but the old broken one is still online and appears as if it still functions. If someone hits the old link, after entering their…
