Interested in incorporating Information Literacy 101 content into your Canvas course? You can easily import specific pages or modules directly into your course while preserving all formatting, images, and accessibility features.

Why Import Instead of Linking?

Importing content (rather than using iframes or links) ensures that:

All accessibility features are preserved
Content displays properly on all devices
Students can navigate seamlessly within your course
You can customize the content to fit your needs

Step-by-Step Instructions

Go to your Canvas course and click Settings in the course navigation menu
Click the Import Course Content button (top right of the page)
For "Content Type," select Copy a Canvas Course from the dropdown menu
In the search box, type: Info-Lit 101 or paste this course ID: 2598311
Click the Search button - the Information Literacy 101 course should appear in the results
Important: Select "Select specific content" (do NOT choose "All content")
Click the Select Content button
You'll see a checklist of all available modules and pages - check the boxes next to only the content you want to import
Click Import at the bottom
Wait for the import to complete (you'll get a notification when it's done)

That's it! The selected content will now appear in your course with all formatting, images, and accessibility features preserved.
