NEW FEATURE: Turn Existing Courses Into Reusable Templates

Table of Contents

Building a new course from scratch can take considerable time — especially when your institution already has a course structure that works well.

Previously, only course administrators could copy courses. This meant educators and other institution staff could be blocked from reusing existing course structures, creating unnecessary bottlenecks in course development.

Course teams can now turn an existing course into a reusable course template. This creates a more flexible way for institutions to scale course development while maintaining a reusable starting point.

Once a course administrator enables a course as a template, educators and institution staff can use that template when creating a new course — without needing course admin permissions to copy the original course themselves.


How to Enable a Course as a Template

Go to: Course > Course Setup > General > Course Template

Then select: Allow this course to be used as a template

How to Use a Course Template

When creating a new course: Create a Course > Select Institution > Select an Existing Course Template

Then choose the template you want to use.

Why This Matters?


Templates allow institutions to preserve useful course structures, learning design patterns and other reusable elements while giving educators a starting point for new courses.

This can help teams:

  • Reduce repetitive course setup
  • Give educators more autonomy
  • Accelerate new course creation
  • Create greater consistency across courses
  • Scale proven course structures across an institution

Importantly, templates provide a starting point. Educators can still adapt the resulting course to suit its learners, subject matter and learning outcomes.
