Copy (import) Canvas Content into other Canvas Course(s): Instead of creating the same content in every class, create it once and import it into the additional sections you teach. This is also helpful if you want to re-purpose a course with similar design and layout.
Once your content is in your course shell:
- Set all due dates for assignments and assessments and make sure your course ready for students to enter on the course start date.
- Publish your course on the course start date (or before if you want students to see the course on their dashboard).
