Canvas Quick Tips - The Syllabus How to Upload it into Canvas
The syllabus is an important course document that highlights important information for the student learner enrolled in a class. Here is how to upload the syllabus into a Canvas Shell.
Canvas can generate a syllabus for you when you add assignments and due dates to your course. But if you prefer to use your own syllabus, it’s easy to copy and paste your syllabus or upload a .doc, .docx, or .pdf file.
To paste in your syllabus:
- Copy the content of your syllabus.
- In your Canvas course (in the left-hand navigation) click Syllabus.
- In the right-hand sidebar, click Edit Syllabus Description. This opens the rich text editor.
- Paste your syllabus content, and then click Update Syllabus.
