OER Support for UTSA Faculty

Follow these steps to adopt textbooks and/or OER in Follett Discover. This will make the book information visible in the ASAP course search and on the campus store website. Once materials are selected, faculty will see the information as pending in Canvas. Once submitted via iFollett Discover in Canvas, the information flows to the Campus Store's course materials ordering system. Once reviewed and accepted, the information is published in ASAP and on the Campus Store website.

1. Log in to Canvas: 

2. From the main landing page, scroll to the bottom and select "Launch Follett Discover."  

Once there, you will be able to adopt materials or add notes that students can see for your course while they are logged in to Canvas.  The Follett Discover link is located in the bottom right of the Canvas landing screen.

3. You will see your course or courses on the screen. Note: Courses are term specific. For each course you can either adopt materials, should you have any OR select “I have no materials to adopt."

4. Next click the rectangular box with the course name in it and this will bring you to another screen saying “Adopted Course Materials” at the top.

5. Scroll to the bottom of the screen and there is a button labeled "Student Instructions". Click "Add" and it opens up a text box where URL’s or other instructions can be entered.
