Share learning resources in Canvas

Have you developed learning resources or support materials that you want to share with colleagues? In Canvas, you can find and share course materials through the Canvas Commons resource library. You can also share a learning resource directly with a colleague using the "Send to" and "Copy to" functions. Here you will find guides to these functions and how to take copyright into account when sharing materials.

Share quiz questions via item banks

The easiest way to share quiz questions with others is to create and share an item bank. Learn more on the page Create and share an item bank .

Share learning resources with Canvas Commons

Canvas Commons is a repository available in Canvas, where teachers can search for different types of learning resources, such as course templates, media, ready-made modules and quizzes. As a teacher, you can also share your own course material with colleagues and download materials created by other teachers to use in Canvas.
