Canvas Commons Import

The Canvas Commons provides a built-in way for teachers to share content within the Canvas LMS. At this time, the Canvas Commons can only be used to import the whole course in to your course - selective uploads are not available.

Access the Canvas Commons

Click the Canvas Commons link in your Canvas sidebar.


Find the Course

Search for The Innovation Project, and select the correct course.

Import the Course

Confirm that the course is valid - it will be labeled as shared by "Mark Samberg" from the "Friday Institute" account. Select the course you want to import the TIP content into from the upper right corner and click "Import into Course". The process will take about half an hour, and the content will be available in your course.

Customize Your Course

Once the content has been imported into your course, you can make any changes you would like to the course content.
