Watch your syllabus magically transform into digital reading lists that you can embed in Canvas! Join us for a virtual workshop titled Books, Articles, Syllabus - Magic! on Thursday, October 2, from 12:30 p.m. to 1:15 p.m.
This workshop will show faculty and instructors how they can easily create a reading list in the library’s course materials platform, Leganto, by simply uploading a syllabus. The “syllabus assistant” (powered by AI) will scan the syllabus and add individual items like books, articles, and websites, along with links to full text or library holdings (if the library already has the books/articles).
Building course material lists with library resources and open web resources can help lower textbook costs for students and make accessing course materials easier, removing the need to rely on bookstores and vendors to ship and activate print or digital texts.
Participants in this workshop can expect to learn about the library’s course materials platform and how it can help connect students with library resources and other materials needed for their course. Participants who come ready with a syllabus to upload will leave with a brand-new draft course materials list in Leganto, along with step-by-step instructions and links to further information on editing and optimizing their lists.
Registration on the library’s calendar page is required. Click here to sign up now!
