Note for Fall 2024: Resource Lists has an updated interface; this guide has been revised to reflect these changes.
Resource Lists is an online reading list system available within Canvas. Within this system, instructors have the flexibility to incorporate a wide range of resources for their students to learn from, including traditional print and online course readings (books, book chapters, articles) as well as videos, podcasts, websites, and more.
