Link to a reading in Canvas
You can now link directly to readings within your Canvas module, instead of students needing to click on the Readings Online menu tab.
BEFORE YOU START
Reading list
- You need have an existing reading list to select readings from.
- Don't have one? Start here
1. Open the Readings Online App within Canvas LMS
- Open your module page in edit mode
- Place your cursor where you want the reading link to appear.
- Click App icon
- In the Select App box, type in Readings online in the search field and click on the Readings Online App.
2. Select your desired reading
- To select a reading, choose appropriate Reading list
- Select the check box next to the desired reading
- Click Next (you may need to scroll back up)
TIP
Link to a single reading, not multiple readings.
- This will be much easier if you need to update later.
- Links to multiple readings need to be completely deleted, then added again.
3. Create link and save on your Canvas LMS page
- Resize the width the link will be displayed, if desired, by moving the slider.
- Click Create
- The reading link will appear on your page.
- Click Save
