Using the Library Reading List in Canvas

To organize your readings, you may access action menus at the list-, section-, and item-levels by pointing your cursor to bring up three dots.

To structure your Reading List, you may create sections to organize resources by week, topic, type, etc.

Click Add > New Section > provide Title and Description > click Add. You can also add a start and end date.

You can add a note to a Reading List.

To add a Note, Click Add > New Note,  provide Title and Description >  select Section to add the note > click Add.

NOTE - if you make a change to the title of the Note, it erases the note and starts fresh - so be careful and maybe copy and paste from somewhere else first. 

You may rearrange items in your Reading List.  

Option 1: Drag

1. Point under the checkbox. 6 dots and drag will appear. Use your cursor to drag the item or note and even change the section order. 

Option 2: Use Item Menu

1. Click on the item menu on the right and select Move Item.
