What is Crosslisting?
Cross listing is the ability to
join two or more class groups of a module
together to share content and enrolments.
This concept allows two or more disparate
class groups to be listed as one and the
same within Canvas. The common use case on
campus is that two different class groups
are taught in the same place at the same
time by the same instructor.
Please note that when you
crosslist a module in Canvas, this will
clear all notes, grades, etc. in one of
the modules (the "child" module being
crosslisted).
Some benefits of Crosslisting include:
- Add content once (add content in one
course section and the other course
sections will see it as well).
- Less updating needed (if you make a
change in one section, the other
sections will automatically update
with the changes).
- Access the full course roster
(students in all the cross-listed
course sections will show up in the
Gradebook and under People).
- You can create section-specific
assignments, events, graded
discussions and quizzes or assign a
common activity to all sections.
How do I complete a Crosslisting
request?
Send the request to edtech@mtu.ie in
the following format:
In the “Subject Field” type,
“Crosslisting Request”
In the Description, please indicate the
following:
Indicate the SIS ID of the parent module (this can be accessed by going into module "Settings" in the left-hand menu)Indicate the SIS ID of any of the child modules
The TEL team will process your request in
the same working day. The new module will
have the name “Xlist” added to the
end of it.
For example: 3D Interactive
Environments 3DINH4001_12587 would become:
