4.10. Adding Textbooks

You can add PDF textbooks to 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. For more information, review Creating Accessible PDF Documents.

Each textbook that you add is displayed to learners as a page, or tab, in the course navigation bar.

EdX recommends that you 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.
