The document provides instructions for copying content from a previous year's Canvas course into the current year's course or an existing course. It explains that teachers can make a personal copy of a shared course to use for teaching and enroll students in that copy. It also describes how concluded courses can still be accessed and un-concluded to copy content, and how settings in an existing course allow copying sections or entire modules from other courses.

- 11. Concluded Courses • You can still use the content • They can be un-concluded, just takes some time • They can be a record of what you taught that year, think old plan book

Editor's Notes
- Check with Greg for exact HelpDesk directions.
- There are different types of copies you may have occasion to experience as a teacher: A copy where you collaborate with other content area experts. This course is created by one teacher and other team mates are added as teachers; there are NO STUDENTS added to these courses. You may make your own copy of any course you are a teacher in. This course maybe where you combine content from your teammates with other content. This course may be where you alter delivery for your specific student demographics, but it is one not typically shared with other teachers. This course may be in anticipation of your next round of students.
- Here is a homepage. Please click Courses.
- Please click on View All or Customize.
- Notice that courses from last year which Infinite Campus pushed in, were also concluded by Infinite Campus. On the right you can see how this teacher was enrolled in each course, enrolled as a teacher or as a student. Please click the first past enrollment as a teacher, the second course from the top under Past Enrollments.
- You are now looking at that past course. Go down the left hand side to Settings and click.
- You are now looking at the settings for the past course. One the right hand side is a Copy this Course button – please click it.

- By selecting the box in front of “Modules” you have selected all modules beneath. Please click Select Content.
- You may see that your request is “Qeued, Processing” and eventually Completed – depending on the amount of what you are copying. To see where the Modules have been copied into this course, find an click Modules on the Left-hand side navigation.
