Here are the steps to share a module to Commons, as referenced:
- Navigate to Modules: Go to the Modules section within your Canvas course.
- Find the Module: Locate the specific module you wish to share.
- Access Module Options: Click the three dots located at the top of that particular module.
- Share to Commons: Select the option to share that to commons.
This process specifically allows you to make a single module available in the Canvas Commons repository.
What is Canvas Commons?
Canvas Commons is a learning object repository integrated into Canvas. It allows users to find, import, and share resources such as modules, assignments, pages, quizzes, discussions, files, and even entire courses. Sharing content to Commons is an effective way to collaborate with other educators and disseminate useful materials.
While sharing a module to Commons is one way to share content from your Canvas course, Canvas also offers other sharing functionalities, such as exporting an entire course package or sharing specific course components directly with users depending on your institution's settings. However, the provided information focuses on sharing a module to Commons.
