Overview
A UTK Canvas Course Template can be downloaded in Canvas.
The UTK Canvas Course Template may be updated on rare occasions, for example, to include an updated Campus syllabus. You have the option to update the Template that was previously imported into your Canvas course. However, before proceeding, please consider the following. If you update the Canvas Course Template for a course into which you previously imported the Template, your edits to the Template’s imported, original content will be lost.
NOTE: To prevent overwriting the previously imported Template components:
- Do not update the Template
OR
- After the initial import of the Template, create copies of the Template components, such as the Home page, Module 0 and Module 1, in your course and use the duplicates for building your Canvas course. The copies of the Template components will not be affected by the Template update.
