Duplicate a course I created

[Raffaturbi]

How can I duplicate a course I have previously created in order to have a second course to be slightly modified and adapted for different students?

Hi @Raffaturbi ...

I would recommend that you speak with your school's Canvas administrator or someone from your school's Online Learning / eLearning / Distance Education department about this request.  They may be willing to create an additional course shell for you (or they may already have a process in place for requests like this) so that you can import content from your current course into the new course.  If and when you do get this new course shell, you'll want to be logged into the new, empty course shell.  Then, you'll use this Guide to import (copy) course content from the current course into the new course shell.

Good luck as you have these conversations with folks from your school!  Sing out if you have any questions about this...thanks!

Hi Chris, 

I am currently on the free version and do not have access to a team on Canvas, do you have any ideas how I can do this myself?

Are you able to create a second, empty course shell in your FFT version of Canvas?  Then, you could use the Course Import Tool to copy/import content from one course into the new, empty course shell.  You'd want to be logged into the new, empty course shell as you perform the course import.

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