Instructure Piloting Learning Repository for Canvas

Canvas already has its own App Center, and faculty members and designers who use the learning management system will soon have their own repository for course content. Canvas Commons, announced Thursday, will first and foremost give faculty members at the same institution a platform to share content, although Jared Stein, vice president of research and education at Instructure, said it will be interesting to see if faculty members at different institutions will use one another's content. Canvas Commons, which was designed with input from the digital education consortium Unizin, is currently being piloted and will launch in the "coming months," the company said.
