Canvas Blueprint





Work on a team that uses Canvas all of the time? Tired of importing every time there is a change in the master course? Then the Blueprint option might be for you!

All teachers work in the SAME MASTER COURSE and then click a “sync” button to push ALL changes to ALL student courses at once! It’s super easy to keep everyone up-to-date!

BluePrint syncs all course content, even the calendar!




This is best done at the beginning of the semester because any content in your current, live student course will be deleted and “filled” with whatever is in the master course. You can still keep your individual style in your courses, but in order to set up Blueprint, your student courses need to be empty for the initial import. Once the import takes place, you can customize your individual courses.

Need to Cross-list your courses first?  Click here to watch a video on how to Cross-list.



Crosslisting

Crosslisting

In Canvas, the process of combining enrollments from two or more sections in one course is called cross-listing.

Why cross-list?
  • Limit the number of times you will need to import content from your Master Course. 
  • Maintain all content for multiple sections in one Parent Course. 
  • You want the different sections of students in your course to interact with one another in Discussions, etc. 
  • You can see students by section in the Canvas grade book. 
  • Create separate Assignment due dates and times by section. 
Secondary Teachers An automated step by step process was created for you to easily cross-list courses. Please watch the video to learn more about cross-listing your courses. https://tinyurl.com/1819crosslistvideo
