Using "Course Reading List" Feature in Canvas

Create a Reading List

1. Open Canvas and navigate to your course
2. Select the Course Reading List option in the course navigation menu
3. Select the CREATE IT button, located in the middle of the page
4. When creating a list for the first time for a course, a box will pop up that reads, "Create a new reading list from scratch".  Edit the title if you prefer something other than your course ID. Adding a description is optional. Click CREATE to move to the next step
   

Organize the Reading List

There are pre-made templates you can choose from to help you quickly organize your reading list. If you want to create your reading list from scratch, choose Default, which is a blank list.

Once you've chosen a template, you will be brought to your brand new reading list! Depending on which template you chose, you may already have sections in your list. To add additional sections use the NEW SECTION button.

Give your new section a title, description, and dates. Dates are not necessary, but you can choose to have certain sections available only during the date range you specify. Click CREATE to add this new section
