What is Canvas Commons?

Commons is a learning object repository that enables educators to find, import, and share resources. A digital library full of educational content, Commons allows Canvas users to share learning resources with other users as well as import learning resources into a Canvas course.

 

What can I do with Commons?

  • Create a personal learning object repository.
  • Build a course from scratch with relevant materials shared by other Canvas users.
  • Create a name for yourself and your institution as a subject matter expert.
  • Import a resource into a Canvas course. Once the import to Canvas is complete, you can start using and customizing your resource.
  • Learn how to view resources you've imported from Commons into Canvas.
  • Share resources you've created in Canvas with other Commons' users at your institution or beyond.
  • You can even rate the resources you've used to help others find quality materials!
