My faculty would like to cross-list course sections with different start dates. For example, we offer four sections of a course this semester all with different start dates (end date is the same). Is it possible to cross-list these sections in Canvas?
Hi @SilasHanneman
You can cross-list the sections into the same course as long as they all have the same term. You can still set individual start and end dates on the sections by going into the section settings and adding different start and end dates, as long as you check the "Restrict students...." options in the section settings.
See this article for more information about term, course, and section dates: https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Basics-Guide/How-do-term-dates-course-dates-and-section-dates-work-in-Canvas/ta-p/37
Hi @SilasHanneman In our Faculty we have a number of colleagues who prefer to manage all their Major Project / Dissertation students for the year in a single Canvas site. The complexity has to be handled somewhere - one colleagues has full time and part time cohorts in the same site - so that's six cohorts and eighteen assignments per year (there isn't currently a solution that would give each the same assignments, so these must be duplicated).
Contrary to @mzimmerman 's experience, we are crosslisting sections / cohorts which are in different terms.
However, we draw the line (in all but one case) of running crosslists into the followin academic year (except where the delivery started in the previous academic year).
The important point (also covered elsewhere) is that your SYS generates assessment lines specific to sections/cohorts, and that any comms, activity etc is set to specific sections (even if all of them).
The assumption is that all members of the site have the same materials so pages are not capable of being set to section - in this case use discussion or assignment pages which do have section capability/
Hope that helps

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…
