How to Copy a Canvas Course for Another Instructor

For Current Instructors Who are the Original Owners of a Canvas Course

If the course in question has any student information in it there are two ways to give access or a copy of your course to that other person without letting that person see any FERPA-protected information.

1) You can create a Shell course, copy over your course content, request to add a user to your course, and take yourself out of the course if you choose to leave.  
2) You can create a course export package and email that to IMSCC file to the person you want to share it with.  Then that person can create a course shell and then import your course content
