Book activities can be used to display reading content to students as part of the learning path. Students can highlight relevant information when reading book activities. If configured, other tools, including flashcards and the community, may also be available in the drawer when viewing a book activity.
Follow the steps below to add a book activity to the curriculum:
- Navigate to the course you wish to build and select Curriculum from the course navigation.
- Click the + below the list of Curriculum items to add a new activity to the end of the course. Use the + to the right of the list of Curriculum items to add a new activity below the currently selected item or within the current section. Then, select Book from the available activities menu.
- Double-click the new Book activity to edit it.
- Enter your content in the Content text area.
- Add a title for the new Book activity. You can also add an optional introduction and estimated completion time.

The editor allows you to insert media, including images, videos, links, and more, into Book activities, creating engaging experiences.
Content can be styled using pre-set elements, headers, backgrounds, borders, and more, found under the Style menu. Additionally, custom styles can be saved and applied globally using the Custom Styles menu, which is accessible by selecting Edit>Custom Styles. Custom CSS can also be entered but is only recommended for advanced users.
TIP: PDFs can be added to a course as a curriculum activity or as a resource attached to an activity. See this article on Related Resources to learn more.
