Course Reserves: Add course reserves to D2L

Your students will access your course reserves directly from your D2L course site, so add the course reserves module. Note: This step is necessary because students cannot access course reserves through the Edit Course menu; that menu is only available to instructors. If you do not add the course reserves module, students will not be able to access your course reserves list.

1. In Content, select the Add a module… box.
2. Enter a name for the module, e.g. Course Reserves
3. Select Existing Activities and click External Learning Tools.
4. Select Course Reserves

For more information about D2L modules and content, see the Center for Teaching and Learning’s Teaching Commons D2L Content Overview.

• An item in your course reserves list
• a section of your course reserves list
