I would like to enable Commons in my Canvas account. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks!
My suspicion is the answer to this question is no, because folks mention things like "admin" for accessing use statistics for content shared in Commons, but since the answer to this question will completely determine if we share in Commons, I thought I would ask. I have a free-for-teacher account and am uploading some…
This is weird. Canvas Commons does not update my course when I update it from there. I had to put the module in Commons simultaneously. Does anyone know how to update the Course in Commons without this hassle?
Unitek recommends we use a standard rubric for clinical. It is titled Formative Clinical Evaluation Tool. Yet, it is not a selectable rubric in the list of options. If we create the rubric for a particular term, we have to re-write the whole thing all over again for a different cohort/ different term. Is there a way we…

Is there a way to prevent teachers from uploading content to Canvas Commons but allow administrators to do it?
Hi Canvas Community When sharing resources using the Canvas Commons, after a period of time the links appear to expire and require users to login into Canvas Commons again. This doesn't appear to happen for newer links and if they are already logged into Canvas, they are taken directly to the resource in Commons. We'd…
I am trying to utilize the Commons API to retrieve a list of all of the resources that our District has in Commons. I'm using https://lor.instructure.com/api/resources?size=8000&q=DistrictName to get the list of resources and I'm getting conflicting results. The above end point appears to return the number of records that…
