EdTech Tip of the Week: Back Course Copy Request

This is a friendly reminder! The Back Course Copy Request process allows instructors to select content from a term prefixed course (i.e., a live course running in a specific term) to be copied into a main course shell (i.e., the main repository for an individual course). This replaces the content in the main course shell with the content from the specific course identified by an instructor. This is useful to do so that new term prefixed courses (e.g., FA22) have the most current content needed when courses become available.

By filling out the Back Course Copy Request Form, the Instructional Technology team will reset the content in the main course shell and then copy in place the content from the identified term prefixed course.

* This process is particularly useful for instructors who want a “jump start” on working in courses that have not yet been released in Canvas (e.g., Fall 2022 courses).

**Note that this process does not pertain to Wiley Courses at SMUMN.
