Instructional & Course Information
Canvas, Stanford University’s learning management system, can serve as the main gateway to an instructor's course. Contact EdTech Hub with questions.
The SLS EdTech Hub is a resource center dedicated to providing support and training to faculty, staff, and students using academic technology for teaching and learning.
Digital Reserves is an archive of exams, model answers, and syllabi from previous years. Access is limited to the law school community. Contact Borrowing Services Desk to add an instructor's exams and syllabi.
Stanford Syllabus is a central, online repository for Stanford class syllabi. Syllabi that an instructor adds to the Syllabus tool in Canvas get automatically added to this repository.
Course Reserves
At least one copy of texts that appear on the Textbook List will be placed on Course Reserves. If you would like additional items placed on Course Reserve, please fill out this form.
Copyright Guidance for Course Materials
While we can’t provide copyright advice, we have created a resource guide to assist in determining whether to post copyrighted material to an instructor's Canvas site.
