5.6. Adding TextbooksΒΆ

You can add PDF textbooks for your course.

Note

Do not use image files (for example, .PNG files) as textbooks for your course, as they are not accessible to screen readers. Review the Best Practices for Accessible PDFs for more information.

Each textbook that you add is displayed to students as a tab in the course navigation bar.

It’s recommended that you upload a separate PDF file for each chapter of your textbook.

When students open the textbook tab in the course, they can navigate the textbook by chapter:
