If the user is brand new, they will need to create a course. Click Create Course. We suggest that the name should match the Canvas course they want to attach it to. However, this can be changed later.
Once the course is created, the instructor must go back into Canvas to connect the course to their Canvas course. Once the course is connected, students can click around to existing material.
In the desired Canvas course, click the
Top Hat link
in course navigation. This will pop open a new window and the user receives a list of Top Hat Courses to connect.
Select the
course
