Canvas@Illinois , Reset Course Content
The Canvas feature to Reset Course Content is disabled for the Canvas at Illinois service. This document provides an alternative method.
Canvas Community documentation is maintained by Instructure and refers to the ability to reset course content; however, this option is turned off. For the Canvas at Illinois service, instructors should delete the current space and request a new one via the Space Request Application (http://go.illinois.edu/sra). See below for instructions
To delete a space request, follow the steps below.
- Open a web browser and navigate to: https://go.illinois.edu/sra
- Enter your NetID and enterprise Password, then click Login.
- Scroll to the bottom of the screen and click the Canvas Space Request Status and Edit.
- You will be presented with all space requests associated with your NetID.
- Click the "Canvas Space Request Status and Edit" link.
- Enter your NetID in the "Net ID or Request No." box at the top and click "Search".
- When the search completes, click the checkbox next to the title of the space and scroll to the Delete button.
- A pop-up window will appear asking you to confirm that you want to delete the space. Click the Yes, Delete Space button to delete the space request.
Please note:
- The course space will not be deleted in Canvas immediately. It is handed off to a scheduled "task runner" to handle at the next available interval, which should not exceed 15 minutes.
- If you are not listed in the SRA as either the "owner" or the "requestor" of the initial course space, you will not see it in the search results. At this point it is recommended that you reach out to the course owner (usually the primary teacher in the course) or enter a support request through the Technology Services Help Desk.
