Associating a Readings & Learning Resources List with Multiple CRNs

When you have multiple sections (CRNs) of the same course, you may want to share the same Readings & Learning Resources list across all the sections of the course. The Manage link to course option ensures that any changes you make to the Readings & Learning Resources list in any of the associated courses will be reflected across all associated courses.

---

Please note:  To associate a Readings List with multiple CRNS, each D2L course CRN must already have the Readings & Learning Resources option added.  See Add a Readings & Learning Resources List to D2L for step-by-step instructions.

Associate a Reading List with more than one course:

Step 1: 

1. Start in the course (CRN) in which you created the Reading list.
2. Click the three dots to the right to open the List Menu.
3. Click Manage Link to Course.

---

Step 2:

Click Add another course and click on the course (CRN) with which you wish to associate the list from the drop-down menu.

---

Step 3:

1. Fill in the information for the course (CRN) including start and end date and number of students enrolled.
2. Click the SAVE button.

---

Step 4:

1. Go to the course in D2L with which you have associated the Readings & Learning Resources list.
2. Click the blue Readings & Learning Resources link to open the list.
3. The list from the original course (CRN) will auto-populate into the current associated course (CRN).

Please note: Any changes you make to the Readings & Learning Resources list in any of the associated courses (CRNs) will be reflected across all associated courses.
