Using Campus Templates

Campus-Created Canvas Templates

A large part of course development is organizing and presenting activities to students. This document describes how instructors use Canvas Templates created by the Center for Teaching, Learning & Mentoring (CTLM) for online, blended, or face-to-face courses. You can download and import the template course directly into any Canvas course and select the specific content you want or import all the content and delete what you do not want once it is in your course.

See the directions below on previewing and copying this template using Canvas Commons or downloading the zip file below. UW-Madison instructors are welcome to use all or part of this template course in their courses.

Template Content

Course shells in Canvas do not come with any templates or structures. CTLM has created various templated pages for instructors to utilize in their courses. This is not the creation of a course exemplar. Instead, it is creating a package of course assets from which faculty or instructional designers can pick and choose elements to use within their course. 

The following templates are provided.

  • Homepage Options
  • Course Orientation Module
  • Module Concepts
  • Assignments with rubrics with different levels of criteria and points
  • Discussion examples
  • Mid-Semester Feedback Survey
