Canvas Course Setup Automation
Automate Canvas course setup with accessibility compliance and bulk scripts
What You Can Do
Design and structure Canvas courses with built-in accessibility compliance, generate consistent rubric frameworks for assessment, and automate bulk operations like user enrollment and grade posting. You'll create scalable course templates, audit existing courses for WCAG 2.1 AA standards, and generate Python scripts to automate repetitive Canvas admin tasks across multiple courses.
Features
Build accessible course modules with learning outcomes, assessment sequences, and content scaffolding
Evaluate Canvas courses against WCAG 2.1 AA standards with checklist and remediation guidance
Create discipline-specific grading rubrics with criteria, scales, and learning outcome alignment
Generate scripts to enroll users, assign roles, and manage course permissions at scale
Automate course copying while preserving structure and updating course-specific content
Create scripts to sync grades, post bulk updates, and handle grade exceptions
Automate quiz and assignment migration between Canvas instances or external systems
Ready-to-use Python scripts and API call patterns for common admin tasks
Example Output
Example 1: Course Structure Template
Course: Advanced Statistics (STAT 301)
├── Module 1: Foundations (Week 1-2)
│ ├── Learning Outcome: Define statistical concepts
│ ├── Content: Video + readings
│ └── Assessment: Quiz (formative)
├── Module 2: Hypothesis Testing (Week 3-5)
│ ├── Learning Outcome: Apply hypothesis testing
│ ├── Content: Lecture + lab exercises
│ └── Assessment: Problem set + peer review
└── Module 3: Synthesis (Week 6)
└── Capstone project with rubric
Example 2: Accessibility Audit Report
✓ Color contrast: PASS (4.5:1 minimum)
✗ Video captions: Missing on 3 of 8 videos
✓ Alt text: All images properly labeled
✗ PDF accessibility: 2 of 5 PDFs not tagged
Recommendation: Add captions within 5 days; use Adobe Acrobat Pro for PDF remediation
Example 3: Bulk Enrollment Script
# Enroll 150 students from CSV, assign TAs, send welcome message
for student in enrollment_list:
course.enroll_user(student['id'], role='StudentEnrollment')
notify(student['email'], 'Welcome message')
print(f'Enrolled {len(enrolled)} students successfully')
