Embedding Library Content into Canvas

Librarians and Canvas

We can work with you to help improve the quality of your students' research assignments. Below are a few of the possible ways we can further integrate library resources and instruction into your course:

  • Librarians can create a module or page in your Canvas shell with links to library resources and supporting information tailored to your course assignments.  
  • Embed your subject librarian into the Canvas course to offer one-on-one, online research assistance for students.
  • Collaborate to integrate library research skills into the course curriculum, possibly adding videos, a librarian led discussion, or a librarian-graded quiz.

Library Module Examples

IN A MODULE

Your librarian can prepare a module containing links to library resources and supporting information such as tutorials and handouts. Modules can also include assessments such as quizzes or assignments.  Any components can be modified or removed as needed.

AS A STANDALONE CONTENT PAGE

Library resources and supporting materials can also be formatted as a content page.
