Providence College has a few templates available to faculty via Canvas Commons, if you would like more of a structure to your course sites. Templates are totally optional, but can be a great way to start the structure of your course.

From the empty site/unpublished site, go to Import from Commons (right hand menu in the course site):

There are two templates currently available for faculty to import into their blank courses. One is custom made with PC images and branding.

From the Commons screen, click into the template title to explore the template.

We also have a template created for courses taught online:

Once you have decided on a template, select Import/Download.

Select the course you would like to import the template into:

You should see this message when the import is started.

When you click back into the course, the browser page should refresh with a template.

Finally, content and text will need to be edited in the template, but the building blocks will be there for a well organized course.
