This guide demonstrates how to copy a Canvas course and/or a QTI.zip file (a quiz/assessment zip file).
Important: Courses that were migrated from D2L will not be available for Copy in Canvas until the course checklist review is completed by your IDEAS liaison.
Notes:
- You cannot copy a Sandbox course
- You can only import from a course in which you have the "Teacher" role.
- If you import the same course content more than once, you'll overwrite any existing content. You will not be able to copy the same entire course into your course multiple times as it will be overwritten.
