  • need to create a custom schedule around our course content.

You can satisfy all these needs by importing our course content from Canvas Commons!

Canvas Commons allows instructors using Canvas to publish their courses to be imported by other instructors. All of our courses hosted in Canvas are available for import via the Canvas Commons!

Important Considerations

If you are importing our content into your own course, you should be aware that the course content is only available to users with an IU username and passphrase. If your course includes non-IU participants, they will need to register for the course on IU Expand.
