Yo, 

Is there a way I can create multiple courses at once? 

I ask because we have a course we use in commons as a master and then we export this course into blank courses. It's just kind of a pain to go through and create one course after another. Especially considering there could be 20+ courses that will be populated by the material in commons.

If you have admin access to your Canvas instance, then you can create courses in bulk using a csv file. Everything you need can be found at SIS Import Format Documentation - Canvas LMS REST API Documentation. Alternatively, you can create courses by API by using Courses - Canvas LMS REST API Documentation. I am not sure which you would be the most comfortable with, but there are options to create courses quite easily.
