Learn how to create and organize a library-supported reading list, right from Canvas.

Student view

As an instructor, the Canvas Student View will not load the Library Course Materials page as a student would see it. This is because the Canvas Student View setting does not send the proper student view credentials to the system that displays the Library Course Materials page.

To view the Library Course Materials page as a student, first exit the Canvas Student View.

Open the Library Course Materials page. At the top of the page next to the share icon, click on the three dots "..." and choose View list as a student.


A library course materials page open with the course edit list open and student view highlighted with a red box.
