Cross-listing allows you to move section enrollments from individual courses and combine them into one course. This feature is helpful for instructors who teach several sections of the same course and only want to manage course data in one location.
How to do it?
1. Get to the course you want to cross-list
Navigate to your courses in canvas and select the course you want to cross-list or "child course." In this context you are going to have a "parent course" which is the one that will have all the content (All the assignments, Quizzes, homework, etc.) and "child" courses which are the ones that will get cross-listed, meaning will get all that information from the parent course.
2. Navigate to sections
Once inside the course you want to use the right side menu to go to course settings and from there we want to go to sections here we will find all the sections associated with the course and we will also see if an already existing section is already cross-listed or not, and to what course are they cross-listed to. Also important to note the original section remains visible but is set to read-only in the original course
Notice:
1) You can view a cross-listed course's originating course
2) When course sections are cross-listed,
Cross-Listing
After clicking in cross-list a new menu appears. Here is where you will look for the "parent course" which is to say the course that has all the information you want the section to have. You can either look up a course by name (7.a.) or by ID (7.b.)
