copy courses from one canvas school instance to another canvas school instance

[mplotsker]

Hi all,

I need to copy my master courses from one canvas school instance to another canvas school instance. 

I am the Canavs IT Admin for 2 schools (same parent company), and I would like to copy all the master shell

courses for a few programs from 1 canvas school instance to the other canvas school instance. I do not need any enrollment data, just the course shells so to speak.

what is the best way to do this?

Thank you,

Michael Plotsker

I'm not sure how many courses you have, but if you are only talking about a handful of courses, you would want to first export each course as a *.imscc file.  Then, in your other Canvas environment, you would upload that file into a new course shell.  The two Guides you'd want to look at are:

• How do I export a Canvas course?
• How do I import a Canvas course export package?

There may be other ways to do this quicker via other back-end methods, but I'm not real familiar with how that works...so I'll let others respond if they know of a way to do a "batch" process of some kind.  Good luck!
