This is NOT about faculty trying to share their course or materials with other faculty members at another school, this is about officially sharing courses with other schools. This is when we share a course with other schools and we, or they, are the main school/instructor for the course. We have students, and they have students, that sign up for a course and only one school should have the course in Canvas. The Canvas Admin will get an email stating that another school has officially requested us to share a course with them. Before we accept that transfer, we must verify with the department that is sharing that course with the other school. We need to verify that it is the correct course that is being shared. Before the Canvas Admin accepts the share, the Canvas Admin needs to know:
- The section number
- The name of the instructor
- The name of the course
- What school is requesting the share
This is important because once we share the course, we no longer have the ability to take that course back without the intervention of the State or the school that we sent that course. This means we are at the mercy of that school or the state to step in and do something on their part. Once we share the course, we will no longer see that course in our instance in Canvas.
Submit a Request to Share a Course with Another School. eLearning will receive the request and complete the request and let you know that we accepted that share to the other school.
