Commons LogoCanvas Commons is a learning object repository that enables educators to find, import, and share resources. Canvas Commons allows Canvas users to share learning resources with other users as well as import learning resources into a Canvas course. Instructors can share and import modules, quizzes, pages, assignments, templates, and entire courses. Learning resources shared with Commons can be shared to your personal repository or to UAB as a whole. If shared to your personal repository, only you can access the content. Content cannot be shared outside of UAB Canvas Commons.

Note for users of screen readers: letters in parentheses in the instructions below refer to corresponding areas on example images. If you have any questions about these instructions, contact Learning Technologies for assistance.

Canvas Commons is available on the Canvas Global Navigation page for those who can create course content. If you have a role in a Canvas Course as an instructor, TA, designer, or Canvas Administrator you will be able to access Canvas Commons from the Canvas Global Navigation Menu with the Canvas Commons (A) icon.
