Summary Instructors can use Middleware to create Canvas course sites for the classes that they are slated to teach (based on PeopleSoft listings). Middleware also ensures enrollment sync between PeopleSoft and Canvas. This article outlines course creation for single-section course sites. Refer to the merged sections article for instructions on creating combined sites. |
Instructions
Navigate to https://middleware.boisestate.edu and log in with your Boise State credentials.

Click on the Term identifier and select the appropriate term from the drop-down.
From the listing of your available course for the selected term, click on +CREATE COURSE.
If you are unable to find certain courses to create, please ensure that you are listed as the course instructor in PeopleSoft.
On the Course Information screen, click the Course Name to personalize the course title if desired.
From the Course Availability dropdown, make your availability choice (default is Start of Term). A detailed description of the Course Availability settings is available at the end of this article.
If you wish to copy the content from an old course, use the optional course copy field. Enter the Canvas SIS Course ID of the source course.
You must have either the Teacher or the Course Administrator role in the source course. Ask the instructor to add you to the course if needed.
