Templates and 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.

About Course Templates
While we are no longer preloading templates into course shells, we do have templates available in the Commons for faculty to import into their courses. We currently have a Generic Template that can be used for any course as well as a few that contain the assessment materials for specific courses. To find these templates, you will want to use the "Shared With" filter to select Arkansas State University. That will limit your options to just the materials available to those who teach for our university.
Clicking on the title of the template you would like to use will then take you to the Course Preview where you can use the Import/Download button to select the course to copy the template to. You may need to use the Import into Canvas box to search for your course names. When you find the course or courses that you would like to add the template to, check the boxes for them and then click Import into Course.
