The Research Resources Toolkit is now part of UAB's Canvas Commons.
What is Canvas Commons?
Canvas Commons is a learning object repository that enables educators to find, import, and share resources. Canvas Commons allows Canvas users to share learning resources with other users as well as import learning resources into a Canvas course. Instructors can share and import modules, quizzes, pages, assignments, templates, and entire courses. Learning resources shared with Commons can be shared to your personal repository or to UAB as a whole. If shared to your personal repository, only you can access the content. Content cannot be shared outside of UAB Canvas Commons.
Canvas Commons is available on the Canvas Global Navigation page for those who can create course content. If you have a role in a Canvas Course as an instructor, TA, designer, or Canvas Administrator you will be able to access Canvas Commons from the Canvas Global Navigation Menu with the Canvas Commons icon.

UAB Libraries is excited to introduce the CAS Research Sources and Skills Toolkit. Victoria Dawkins, First-Year Experience Librarian, has created this toolkit as another way for students to receive research instruction. Portions of the toolkit can be embedded in a course, used as a flipped classroom exercise prior to library instruction, or your students can take the entire course for a “certificate” of completion.
