Why do you refuse to answer the question about how to upload the syllabus into Canvas?

[JayStroup]

After searching your site for hours, you still do not have any clear instruction or guidance as to how to upload an instructor's course syllabus into the canvas portal. Totally unsatisfactory.

Hi @JayStroup ...

There are two main Guides that I'll refer you to re: the Canvas Syllabus:

• How do I use the Syllabus as an instructor?
• How do I edit the Syllabus in a course?

For your case, what does your syllabus look like?  Do you have it in a Microsoft Word document or a PDF file?  If so, are you wanting to just upload that document to the Syllabus page in your course so that students can view/download it?  Or, do you have text in a document that you want to copy/paste onto the Syllabus page of your course?  At our College, we have a third-party product integrated into our Canvas environment called Simple Syllabus.  So, our instructors do not use the normal Canvas Syllabus page.  Rather, we've set up a template in our Simple Syllabus so that there are specific fields that need to be filled in (other fields are auto-populated with information).

If you could provide some additional details about what your Syllabus looks like and how you'd like it displayed in your course, that will be helpful.  Thanks!

@JayStroup  Maybe, you don't realize this, but the people answering questions on this forum are not employees working for Instructure. Most of us are either IT folks or teachers who just want to help. We're all volunteering our time here. I understand that you are frustrated, but please reconsider your tone.

I am trying to find out the same.

Hi @LaurieBezold ,

In his response to Jay Stroup, Chris Hofer asked several questions. The answers to those questions are important because there are multiple ways that instructors might be posting syllabus content. What exactly are you trying to do?
