[ARCHIVED] Copy a class to one teacher

how can a teacher copy a course to one teacher

[lgdarnay · Accepted solution]

There are a couple of ways you could accomplish this! 

- The first teacher with the main course could add the other teacher to the course as a "teacher" role in the people area of the course (How do I add users to a course?). Then the other teacher can use the "copy a canvas course" process to import the course content into their empty/shell course. Follow this guide: How do I copy a Canvas course into a new course shell? (after the process is done, the first teacher can remove the other teacher from the main course.) 

- The first teacher can export the course as an export file and give the other teacher access to that file either through a cloud based file (google drive, dropbox, etc.). The other teacher can then import that course file into their empty/shell course. Follow these guides: How do I export a Canvas course? How do I import a Canvas course export package?

- The first teacher could share the course via commons to your school or district commons group. The other teacher can then import the course into their empty/shell course. Follow these guides: How do I share a course to Commons? How do I import and view a Commons resource in Canvas?  (The first teacher could remove the resource in commons after the import process if they don't wish to leave it there.) 

Hope these options help!

Hello  @92680  !

Welcome to Canvas Community!

There are a few ways of doing this located here using the course import tool.

What is the Course Import Tool? 

Below is the process of doing the course import

How do I copy content from another Canvas course using the Course Import tool? 

I recommend creating an export of the course you want to copy and then import it into the desired shell.

A guide to this is located here>>>How do I export a Canvas course?. Please be aware on exports some external app LTI tools such as Google Drive and Office 365 do not retain tool configurations in exported courses. That's why you may consider copying the course.

Please let me know if I can be of any further assistance
