The Instructure Community will enter a read-only state on November 22, 2025 as we prepare to migrate to our new Community platform in early December. Read our blog post for more info about this change.
Dear Teachers,
[Insert a customized greeting for your faculty and staff].
Canvas has a great (new) feature that can make is much easier to share your content with your colleagues. It's called DIRECT SHARE.
You can directly share assignments, discussions, quizzes, and content pages with a colleague AND you can also send those same items to a different course that you teach... DIRECTLY (not using the course Import tool). Take a minute to look at the links attached to see how to share assignments. Follow the same process to share discussions, quizzes, and content pages!
It's a much easier than the Canvas Commons (even though that is still pretty helpful to share Modules and Courses with each other), especially if you want to send something quickly to your PLC or just copy a great resource from one course to another!
Hopefully that tip can help you feel more confident and powerful on Canvas!

After 10 years facing students in a variety of Humanities courses, Alissa took her passion for Canvas to the Training Team as an individual contributor and as the Training Team Lead! Now, she is taking her passion global as the Channel Sales Enablement Manager. She earned a BA in History (minor English Language and Literature), BA in Russian Language and Literature from Brigham Young University, and a MAT in Teaching from the University of Southern California. She was the 2016 Teacher of the Year (Cottonwood High School, Salt Lake City, Utah). On her weekends, Alissa's hobbies include reading and playing the harp (Principal Harpist, Johnson City Symphony Orchestra). Alissa's other half is an attorney and they're working on taking their particular worlds by storm! They both enjoy a good Saturday of College Football and maybe someday they'll have a garden!
