Post Course Materials

Canvas provides a file manager for organizing all of your course materials (e.g., mp4, pdf, docx, pptx) into folders (e.g., leactures, readings, homework). These materials can then be linked from anywhere within the course (e.g., from the Modules page, an assignment, a quiz, a content page).

Using Modules as a way to upload, manage, and provide students with access to course lectures.

1. Navigate to the "Modules" area of the course. Add a Module and label it (e.g., Week 1: Welcome and Syllabus or Readings). Now that you have a module, you can add items to it, including files.
2. Click the "+" button next to the module title to add an item to that module.
   

• Using the dropdown menu that appears, select "File" from the list and then click "New File".
   
  

• Click "Browse" to find and select a file from your computer.
  

• Once the file has been selected, click "Add Item" to upload the file to the Module.
