MSU Commons, the first institutional node of the expanding Humanities Commons network, is a multipurpose platform where users can develop a digital profile, join collaborative groups, build WordPress websites, and add materials to an open access repository. MSU Commons is available to all current faculty, staff, and students, as well as retired faculty and staff. With many different functionalities built into the platform, MSU Commons is an ideal place for developing an online, scholarly presence. In this session, participants will learn how MSU Commons can be used within courses at MSU. A few of the uses presented will include using discussion boards and groups in courses, developing a course website, and sharing materials in the repository as part of coursework.
