Public Syllabus

Canvas has a syllabus tool located in the left-hand course navigation. You can create content in the description section by pasting in copied text or entering text. You can use the Rich Text Editor and Content Selector to make your syllabus dynamic including multimedia and linking to course content.

In addition, the syllabus tool automatically aggregates and lists all course assignments and events in chronological order in a table below the description.

You can make your syllabus publically visible, meaning students or parents would not have to log in to view it. You can just email the link to syllabus page and they will be able to access it.

You can also link to your syllabus within a module.

Be sure to include the Syllabus in your Course Navigation Menu.
