thank you so you can add your syllabus with the syllabus tool so here on the syllabus page you have your course syllabus and you can click on the edit button in order to add your syllabus now you can either type your you can take your syllabus you could copy and paste the text directly in here but if you don’t want to worry about formatting which can sometimes happen if you have tables if you have lists if you have images your formatting can become a little wonky from just from copying and pasting it into the syllabus tool so you can sit there and edit everything and make it look perfect in here or you can just add the document so that’s what I’m going to do I’m going to add the document there are different ways that you can add a document to a page in Carmen so what I’m going to do is I’m going to find the documents button and I am going to go to my course documents So within those course that course document I can zoom out and you can see that there are different documents added to my course if I had a lot of files in my course I could choose to search and try to find my syllabus so I can find my syllabus and I can click on it and it’ll add that link to the document in the text box the issue here the issue here is that this text is just the file name and you can see that it’s not aesthetically appealing not at all so the other option is that I am going to type in the name of the syllabus so you could do your course name and syllabus you can just type the word syllabus I prefer course name and syllabus but that is entirely up to you I’m going to highlight this text and I’m going to hyperlink it so I will hyperlink it I will go to my course documents I will do my syllabus again and then I will click on it it will highlight the text yellow and now it is hyperlinked so we now have a hyperlinked text and this is very helpful so now when students come to this page they can click on this link and download the syllabus but if I don’t want the students to just download the syllabus and I want them to be able to view the syllabus right here in Carmen I will click on the I will click on the link options I will go down to preview inline and check the box to expand preview by default and then I’ll click on done and then I still have a hyperlinked image but when I update my syllabus you will see a difference so the difference between a regular download and a um expanded preview as you see the minimize file preview sometimes it takes a while for the document to to load on the page but as long as you see minimize file preview it worked so you can students can still download the syllabus onto their computer because you have the download icon here but they’re also able to view the syllabus so I can expand and view the syllabus you may or may not have just seen that I have no idea but um I can stretch out my window and I can see more of the syllabus and I can scroll down and scroll through the syllabus right on Carmen and I don’t have to download it onto my computer if I don’t have to this is really helpful and you can use this method to add any long-form instruction to anything that you need so if you have an assignment that requires paid multiple pages of instruction you can add it the same way and if you have prompts for discussion or if you have um and a final exam that requires multiple pages of instruction you can do it this way and students can still view it on Carmen
