Canvas Commons is a searchable, worldwide repository of educational resources—such as images, pages, quizzes, assignments, modules, and entire courses—that have been made publicly available for use in Canvas. Anyone with an instructor or administrative account in Canvas can access or share educational resources to the Commons. Canvas Commons makes sharing and using resources easy: you can search through a broad range of open resources created at UBC and beyond that can be added and deployed in your course in minutes. Likewise, sharing to the Commons, for a typical Canvas course, takes less than a minute.

This hands-on session will focus on the pragmatic elements of working with Canvas Commons, including how to find and import resources, best practices for sharing your educational materials within Canvas Commons, and the basics of working with open educational resources (OER) that are licensed to allow revision and reuse.
