Step 3: For:

• Ebooks and Library Materials—Navigate to the ebook you'd like to read, and simply click "Read Now".
• Courseware—Navigate to the courseware product you'd like to access and click "Acquire Access Code". After clicking the “Acquire Access Code” button, an alpha-numeric access code will appear. Follow the instructions listed to either paste the access code into a link set up by your instructor within Canvas, or to paste it within the publisher's website.
• Codeless Publisher Courseware—If you do not have an "Acquire Access Code" button, this means that your instructor is using a direct link right into the publisher's courseware content. No code is required. Simply click "Access Courseware" and you will be routed directly to the appropriate publisher's website to access the content.
• Printed materials—for course materials that are being provided in print format, please see the steps below.
• Library reading lists — the “Library Course Materials” menu item will still be available in the Canvas course menu, and links to library reading lists will also be made available within “My Shelf” in Course Works.

Quick Start Guide for Faculty and Instructors

The Course Works program delivers required digital course materials directly to undergraduate degree-seeking students by the first day of class. If a digital edition is not available or you have indicated physical materials are required to support your instruction, students will be provided with a physical copy. Your preference for physical books may be indicated when submitting a textbook adoption.

Courses are not required to use Canvas for instruction to participate in the Course Works program. Canvas is a single access point for students to access their course materials. Faculty and instructors do not need to use Canvas in an instructional capacity.

Participating students will be billed $279 per semester to their student account. Students have the option to fully opt out of the Course Works Complete program for the semester or choose  which specific materials they wish to purchase via Course Works Select. Library and Open Educational Resources are always available, regardless of participation.

Content Types

• For ebook, library materials, Open Educational Resources, coursepacks, and non-courseware content: All content access will be delivered to students using the Course Works link tool in Canvas. For example, the student opens the Course Works link tool in Canvas, and the ebook is displayed. The student clicks on the ebook and is launched into the RedShelf My Shelf e-reader.
• For courseware: Courseware content, including integrated ebooks, are accessed through publisher specific integrations or URLs. For example, for a course using Pearson MyLab, the student would open the MyLab and Mastering tool in Canvas and is then launched to Pearson’s MyLab platform.

Teaching Assistants (TA)

Teaching Assistants will have complimentary access to digital course materials for applicable course(s). TAs should be marked in Canvas with the role “TA” to enable complimentary access to the digital course materials. Some courseware may require additional information for TA access. If you use courseware, please reach out to your publisher representative to identify if any additional information is needed regarding TA access to course materials. Physical course materials are not provided to TAs through the Course Works program, which is the same policy for instructors. In the case of physical materials, the department coordinator or instructor should work with the publisher to secure desk/review copies for the instructors and TAs.

Note regarding undergraduate TAs: Undergraduate TAs who are opted-in to Course Works Complete will receive complimentary access to your course’s materials, but will still be responsible for the full program fee to cover the other participating courses in which they are not a TA.

Users with digital material accessibility requests or questions may visit RedShelf Solve Accessibility Resources (opens in new window). Each campus has a Disability Resource office (see menu above for campus-specific links) that can provide additional support.

Syllabus Information

Most materials required on syllabi should also be adopted with the campus store and/or the libraries. If the Course Works team receives a syllabus from a student that shows materials that have not been adopted, we will confirm that they are required and try to get them added to the program.

How can I use the Course Navigation menu in CourseWorks to manage my course navigation links?

Why remove or reorder items in my course navigation?

Your course navigation is your main tool to organize your students’ online learning experience in a way that clearly communicates which content and activities are important. To avoid confusion among your students, it is important to make visible only the tools you will be using and to organize your course site in a way that aligns with your learning goals and course content. CourseWorks (Canvas) provides many different tools to support different types of courses and instructor needs. Your may not need to use every tool provided. Use your own syllabus as a guide to help you determine which tools you will need, in what order they should appear, and which can be hidden and need not be seen by students.  

How do I change the navigation menu in my course?

As an instructor, you can control which tools appear on the course navigation and in what order.

Once you know the tools you plan to use in your course site, customize your course navigation menu and then review the changes from the student perspective using the Student View feature. The documentation below has been curated from the Canvas Instructor Guide and CUIT Tips and Tricks to help you use the newly updated features within the Course Navigation menu to provide clear and clutter free navigation experience to your students:
