Canvas Commons Groups allow staff to share content with a defined subset of users within the institution, supporting controlled collaboration and reuse of teaching materials. When a user is creating content and they have been assigned a group they then have the option to share the content with only the group in commons.
In order to have a ‘Canvas Commons Group’ created, please submit a support ticket to Canvas Tier 1 Support. You can do this by emailing support@instructure.com and requesting the case is passed to the internal QUB team (DLSSS).
To administer the Commons Group follow the steps below:
Add Group Members
In the Search users to add field [1], type the name or email address of the user and select the user from the search list [2].
Manage Group Members
Users appear in the Group Member list [1] with the users’ name [2] and email [3].
To change the manager status of a user, enable the Manager toggle [4].
To remove a user from the group, click the Delete icon [5].
