1.6 | What If I Don't Need The Entire Template?
If you are new to instruction at Cañada College, or new to using Canvas, having access to the entire Cañada Course Template will be most helpful to you.
If, however, you have been teaching at Cañada College and using Canvas for multiple semesters, it is likely that some of your course shells already contain the Course Template contents, and/or that you may only need access to specific elements of the Course Template, rather than the whole Course Template itself.
In Canvas, entire modules, or individual activities such as Pages, Assignments, and Discussions can be copied directly into any active course in which you are enrolled as an instructor. When you copy a module or an individual activity, any assets within that item (images, files, etc.) will be included in your copy.
So, how do you grab only what you need, and leave the rest behind?
- You may import the Cañada Course Template into a Sandbox Course, or navigate to one of your active courses that already contains the Cañada Course Template materials.
- From the course, select entire modules or individual activities (Pages, Assignments, Discussions, etc.) and 'Copy To' another course.
'Copy To' Instructions
- To copy a module from any course, locate to the Options menu for that module (the three vertical dots), and select Copy To. Type the course name or code of the destination course, then select the Copy button
- To copy an individual activity from any course, locate the Options menu for that activity (the three vertical dots), and select Copy To. Type the course name or code of the destination course, then select the Copy button
