Course Readings is a tool designed to help faculty and instructors incorporate library materials, articles, e-books, videos, web resources, and more into their Canvas courses easily. 

Benefits

  • No broken or outdated article links (if this happens you can flag it for the library to let us know!) 
  • Course materials can be saved and reused in other courses or future semesters
  • Once a reading list has been created it can be easily duplicated for future semesters
  • Student engagement with reading list materials can be tracked using the Student Analytics feature
