To get started using this tool, you'll need to create a reading list for your students. The structure can be modified however you want. You can have a blank list, or a list broken up into weekly readings, required and recommended readings, or numbered modules.
Note: It is not recommended to build a list in a development or sandbox course shell. Build a list in the for-credit course or, if you want to keep a list separate from a for-credit course, create a list in your sandbox but then only add resources to your Favorites.
In Canvas, go to Readings & Resources on the left side menu, and "Create a new list from scratch."
Give the list a title. We recommend the course name followed by the term and year. Then click Next.
Pick a template, either Default (in which you can create your own section headings) or Weeks. You can choose how many weeks, or sections, are in your course.
Then select Create list.
Collaborators help you manage Readings & Resources by adding and editing your lists. Collaborators might include other instructors, instructional designers, or teaching assistants.
Collaborators are automatically assigned permissions to "Edit," which lets them add, edit, and remove resources only. Once a collaborator has been added to the list, you can change their permissions to "Manage," which gives them full control over your lists, and the ability to add and remove collaborators.
TAs and Instructional Designers will not at first appear as choices when searching for them in "Manage Collaborators." To add these collaborators:
