Course Reserves: Share your list

Shareable links can be used anywhere, but will expire at the end of your course. You can share links to:

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

You can use these links in news announcements and in emails to students enrolled in your course, other instructors, or library staff.

Click on the Share icon and click Copy sharable link.

Note: If you want to embed links in D2L that will remain active in future quarters, see: Add persistent links to items, sections, or your list.

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
