Cross-listing
bit.ly/crosslistingc
What is it?
Cross-listing is a new to CCSD feature that allows teachers to combine courses in their Canvas accounts. They will still retain section enrollments from PowerSchool. Cross-listing can be used for instructors who are teaching the same course in more than one class.
Know
- When you cross-list, any existing grades will be lost. Be sure to back up your grade book if you decide to do it.
- Do not cross-list 2 courses and then attempt to cross-list that with another course. You'll need to have the first two cross-listed courses de-cross-listed. You cannot have a double cross-list.
- Delete any manually-created sections In your course prior to attempting a cross-list.
What if I change my mind?
To de-Cross-List courses, you'll need Lacy's help. Please complete this form and choose de-Cross-List.
If you chose to Cross-List your classes and your students have lost work in Canvas, there is no way to recover it.
Best Practices in Cross-Listed Courses
If you do combine sections, please take the following steps to protect the privacy of students in the individual sections:
Disable the “People” menu option that allows students to see the entire course roster for all sections. Instructions for disabling a course navigation link
If you use Discussions, create separate groups for each section of students and assign each discussion to the separate group.
When sending messages through the Conversations Inbox, always choose to “Send Individual Messages” so that a group reply is not possible.
Whenever you share or cause to be shared student information within a course or section(s) ensure that no student within the course or section has invoked a FERPA hold on all of their directory and non directory information.
