If you cannot find a rubric you want to use in your course, you can create a new rubric. Once you create a rubric, the rubric is saved in your course for future use. You can add the rubric to an assignment and use the rubric for grading and adding comments. You can manage created rubrics in the Manage Rubrics page.

This lesson shows how to create a rubric in the Manage Rubrics page. You can also create a rubric directly when adding a rubric to an assignment, and the process is the same.

Note: Currently criterion cannot be reordered after they are added to a rubric.

If you've been invited to join a collaboration, you can access the collaboration from Canvas. Collaboration files can also be viewed your online account for the collaboration type (OneDrive or Google Drive, respectively).

You can choose to receive notifications about collaborations in your Canvas notification preferences.

Notes:

• Google Drive allows up to 50 users per collaboration, and all users can view and edit a document at the same time.
• Depending on your institution's preference, your Collaborations page may not match the images shown in this lesson. However, functionality of the page remains the same.

As an instructor, you can allow users in your course to download an ePub file to view your course using an ePub reader. Learn how to download your course ePub file.

The default ePub organization is by module, meaning only items that students have access to view in each module will be included in the ePub file. Locked modules list either their pre-requisites or the unlock date, as well as the items that are contained within that module (though not the actual content of those items themselves). However, you can choose to set your course organization by content type (e.g. assignments, quizzes, etc.).

Notes:

• ePub Exporting is currently a course opt-in feature. To enable this feature, learn how to manage feature options in the course features lesson.
• If your account does not display the ePub Export option, your institution may only allow you to manage offline content as an HTML file.

The first few times you create a new course in Canvas, it's a challenge to remember all of the steps required. The Course Setup Checklist exists to help you remember to cover all your bases before the course goes live.
