Building Courses in Canvas

Question

How can I begin building my courses in Canvas for the upcoming semester?

Environment

  • Canvas

Answer

Build in an Existing Course

When next-semester course shells are available, use Course Copy (opens in a new window) to copy your content from a previous semester into the new semester course shell.

Build in a Template Course

Use your USERNAME.TEMPLATE course or request additional templates (opens in a new window) to build and organize your content ahead of time.

Additional Information

  • Blackboard Migrations: Course materials from Blackboard are available in Canvas courses marked BBM (Blackboard Migration).
  • Archival Content: Consider these BBM courses as archives of your Blackboard content. You should copy these migrated materials into your Template to reorganize, edit, and supplement them as you build in Canvas.
