Add Course Textbooks

Tags: educator how-to

You can add textbooks in PDF format to your course.

Note

Do not use image files (for example, .png files) as textbooks for your course, because they are not accessible to learners who use screen readers. For more information, review Creating Accessible PDF Documents.

Each textbook you add is displayed to learners as a page, or tab, in the course navigation bar. The recommendation is to upload a separate PDF for each chapter of your textbook.

When learners open the textbook page in the course, they can navigate the textbook by chapter.
