Import from Commons
MSU has designed three branded resources you can import directly from Commons into your Canvas course: a Customizable MSU Course Template, a Sample Module/Unit/Week, and an MSU Branded Homepage. The Homepage ensures consistency, saves time, enhances organization, improves communication, and supports branding across courses. The Sample Module provides an outline for structuring your modules, weeks, or units, with examples for each item. The MSU Full Course Template is a comprehensive resource to help you build a course from scratch, adhering to best practices for online content delivery. To access these templates, use the directions below to enter Canvas Commons where these are stored.
