[ARCHIVED] Reuse grading scheme in another course?

[gpillsbury]

Is it possible to reuse a customized grading scheme in another course?  I recently created a modified version of our account grading scheme in one course and hoped to simply select the modified scheme in a second course.  However, the modified scheme was not available in the second course to be chosen.

Am I missing something or is this idea not possible?

Thanks!

I think it is possible when copying course content, but not without doing that. It seems it saves the scheme associated with a course rather than with you as a user.

I am able to do this.  I go to settings and check the box to enable a grading scheme.  I then get a button that says "set grading scheme".  When I click on this, I get the option to reuse a grading scheme that I made previously.  Perhaps it is something within your admin panel if you don't have the same experience.

Hello @BStutzman ,

I am unable to replicate your results. I have looked through our admin settings and do not see it there either. Can you verify that the scheme did not come over as part of a course copy, blueprint, or account-level scheme? Could you maybe share screenshots?

Thank you for your time,

James

I can verify that the scheme did not come over as part of a course copy, blueprint, or account level scheme.  I can click on manage grading schemes and add my own or choose one that is there at the account level.

Right. I can add one or choose an account one, but I cannot create one in course A and see it in course B.

I see what you mean now.  I am sorry that I first misunderstood.  Yes, that is also my experience.  To have those schemes roll from course to course, they must be set up at the account or subaccount level.

Here's what I did:

1. Go to the course that you want to import to.
2. Click "Import Existing Content" on the right.
3. On the next screen (Import Content), select "Copy a Canvas Course" from the drop down menu. (After you do that, more options will pop up.)
4. Select the course you want to copy from.
5. Next to "Content" click "Select specific content"
6. Click "Import"
7. The class that you are importing from should show up under "Current Jobs." Click "Select Content" on the right.
8. You'll get a pop up of the different parts of the course that you are importing from. Select "Course Settings"
9. Click "Select Content"

Dear SEI, 
when testing this the course grading scheme wasn't part of the imported "course settings". The only way it has worked for us is to make use of a blueprint course. Here the grading scheme is synced as part of the bpc general settings to associated courses. - kind regards
