The directions below will explain a few options allowing you to download content from your Canvas course site. 

1. Download as a Common Cartridge for use within a modern Learning Management System
2. Download a zip file of all files OR select files from the Files area

Download a Common Cartridge

Download your course so that you can use it in Canvas or any other modern Learning Management System. This will maintain the course structure and tools. 

1. Since this is an older course, it will most likely be active under Past Enrollments in Canvas here: https://canvas.brown.edu/courses
2. Now select your course.
3. In the course navigation select Settings, (which is at the very bottom of the course navigation)
4. After the page refreshes, look to the far right of the page and select the Export Course Content button
   

5. You will then see the Export Type option, which defaults to Course

6. Press the "Create Export" button

7. You will see a progress bar and a note "The export process has started."

8. When the export has finished, you will be shown a link to download the file

The file is in a format called a Common Cartridge, with a file extension of .imscc. It cannot be viewed outside of a learning management system (LMS)

• Most modern learning management systems (LMS) will know how to use this file, but please note that going from one LMS to another will also have some changes
• If there were any specific tools that are/were Brown University created/licensed, then those will most likely not work in another LMS. Examples of these may be Panopto, Media Library, OCRA and others
  

Download your course content as documents: PDF, DOC, etc.

1. Download a zip file of all files OR select files from the Files area
2. Since this is an older course, it will most likely be active under Past Enrollments in Canvas here: https://canvas.brown.edu/courses
3. Now select your course.
4. In the course navigation select Files
   

In this example, GRMN0300 is the main course folder with "unfiled" as a subfolder
