Student Resources Menu


FSW eLearning has streamlined the Global Navigation Menu in Canvas. The previous "Library Desk" and "Help & Resources" menus have been reorganized into a new "Student Resources" section for easier access to support materials.

The "Student Resources" section now includes quick links to:

  • FSW Syllabus Library
  • Student Information Station
  • Student Canvas Guides
  • Current Student Services
  • Student Engagement
  • FLEX Space
  • Online Exam Proctoring
  • Packback Writing Lab

Library resources are also accessible, including:

  • Library Website
  • eReserves
  • Ask-A-Librarian Online Chat
  • Research Databases
  • Database Tutorials

To help you get familiar with the changes, we’ve included an updated screenshot of the navigation menu.
