Before You Copy Your Course

or Request a Course Copy

As new courses appear on your Canvas Dashboard, you may see that content is absent from the course(s). Each course has an associated blueprint that sets the course navigation menu, the homepage, and university-wide course content such as Academic Integrity, the Student Success, the Writing Center, and more. Please check your Blueprint Course association before you copy.

To check your blueprint course association:

1. Click on Settings in the course navigation menu.
2. On the Course Details tab, look for "Blueprint Course."
3. Check to see that there is a blueprint associated with your course and that the Blueprint Course area is not blank.
4. In the example image below, the course is associated with the JSU General Template (Fall 2024) blueprint.
5. If you see a blueprint association, you may complete a course copy or request a course copy from Online@JSU.
6. If you do not see a blueprint association, please allow for 24 hours before completing a course copy.

Monday Minutes: Turnitin

Turnitin is the plagiarism detection tool supported at Jacksonville State University. It can be accessed any time a new Canvas Assignment is created. According to Turnitin, the focus of Turnitin is not to catch students committing acts of plagiarism, but rather to help students improve their writing by highlighting issues of potential plagiarism and failure to cite sources, so they can correct concerns before submitting the final draft. 

If you are interested in learning more about Turnitin, Module 4 of Canvas 101 includes faculty tutorials and Turnitin setting options.
