Canvas Commons Resources

Welcome to the resources created by and/or adapted the CATIE Center at St. Catherine University for the Behavioral Health Interpreting (BHI) project. We invite you to incorporate the activities and resources into your existing interpreter education efforts to support working interpreters growing as professionals who deliver high quality services.

The posts below contain course material that can be easily transferred into a Learning Management System.  Housed in Canvas Commons, you can download a Common Cartridge file and transfer it to another LMS that uses this format, such as D2L/Bright Space, Moodle, myCourses or Blackboard.

All of them are provided with a Creative Commons license that allows you to both use and adapt them as long as you credit the CATIE Center with the original creation.
