As an instructor, you can allow users in your course to download an ePub file to view your course using an ePub reader. Learn how to download your course ePub file.

The default ePub organization is by module, meaning only items that students have access to view in each module will be included in the ePub file. Locked modules list either their pre-requisites or the unlock date, as well as the items that are contained within that module (though not the actual content of those items themselves). However, you can choose to set your course organization by content type (e.g. assignments, quizzes, etc.).

Notes:

• ePub Exporting is currently a course opt-in feature. To enable this feature, learn how to manage feature options in the course features lesson.
• If your account does not display the ePub Export option, your institution may only allow you to manage offline content as an HTML file.

The first few times you create a new course in Canvas, it's a challenge to remember all of the steps required. The Course Setup Checklist exists to help you remember to cover all your bases before the course goes live.

The public course index is a collection of all courses that can be viewed publicly within your institution. In relation to the index, the word public references the index, not the courses; courses in the index may be public or private courses. Learn how to view the Public Course Index.

If you want to include your course as part of the public course index, you can select the course index visibility option in course settings. You can also create a description for your course as part of the catalog listing.

To learn more about visibility options, view the Canvas Course Visibility Options PDF.

Notes:

• The Public Course Index is currently an account opt-in feature and must be enabled by your institutional admin.
• If your course is enabled for self-enrollment, you can add a Join button to allow users to self-enroll at any time.
