Sharing my Module via a link

Question

I am in a college course and I created an e-Learning module in Canvas for an assignment. I am required to share my e-Learning Module via a link to be graded. Can someone explain to me how I can export my module as a shareable link?

Thanks

@WilliamSmallwoo If you course is public to your institution, you should be able to share a direct link to your module, but that would also open up your full course to anyone at your institution who has the link. You could also manually add to the course the users who need access to the module. Additionally, you could create an export file of the course and only include that single module.

If you created this module for an assignment, as a student, I would recommend reaching out to the instructor and asking how they prefer to access the module. I would assume they have preferences based on their experience with this assignment.

Hey @WilliamSmallwoo !

Welcome, and thank you for posting on the Instructure Community!

Does your school by chance have canvas commons configured? (Note: if you use free for teacher, commons is automatically available) If so, I recommend sharing this module to commons, then after you add it, you can share a resource link to whoever needs to have it. Once they sign into commons and view the resource, they can either download it to their computer, or import it into a course. If you do not have canvas commons configured for your canvas instance, I recommend just exporting the module to your computer files and sharing it with your instructor.

Here's a guide with some more detailed information on sharing resources to Commons if you are interested in checking it out! https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Commons/How-do-I-share-a-resource-to-Commons/ta-p/1798#:~:text=resource%20is%20located.-,Share%20Resource,to%20Commons%20link%20%5B2%5D.

Feel free to reach out with any additional questions or concerns, we're happy to help!
