Canvas - Staff: What are Canvas Blueprints and how do I use it?


Question

What are Canvas Blueprints and how do I use it?

Answer

Canvas has functionality called Blueprinting. It essentially lets you create a Canvas course where you can then create content in that course, then sync it automatically to designated courses that are linked to that Blueprint course. 

Currently, the only use case in the medical school is the Communication Skills used by CELA. It currently houses 20 pages of content that are then synced to a few different courses. CELA Staff will need to link the Blueprinted site to the new doctoring sites every summer (i.e. in Summer of 22, staff will need to link the Blueprinted site to Sci Trunk Doctoring 2022-2023).
