As an instructor, you can copy individual assignments in one course directly into any active course in which you are enrolled. You can also send assignments to other instructors at your institution. When you copy an assignment, any assets within that assignment (images, files, etc.) will be included in your assignment copy.
In Course Navigation, click the Assignments link.
Locate the assignment you wish to copy, then click the assignment Options icon [1]. Select the Copy To. option [2].
Enter the name of a course, SIS ID or course code in the Select a Course field [1].
Search results are sorted by term, with the default term first, followed by most recent term start date. Results for each term are sorted alphabetically and display the course name [2], course code [3], and term name [4].
Select the course into which you want to copy the assignment [5].
Note: The Select a Course drop-down menu only displays courses in which you have an active or future enrollment. Assignments cannot be copied to a concluded course.
If you wish, you can copy the assignment into a specific module and location within a course.
Click or type a module name in the Select a Module field [1]. Then select the module for the copied assignment.
To select a location within the module, click the Place drop-down menu [2]. You can select to copy the assignment to the top of the module, before or after a specific module item, or at the bottom of a module.
When copying content, a message displays explaining that importing the same course content more than once overwrites any existing content in the course.
Click the Copy button.
Canvas displays a notification when an assignment copies successfully [1].
When finished, click the Close icon [2] or the Close button [3].
Copied assignments display on the Assignments Index Page in the Imported Assignments group for the course into which it copied.
