Create a new HTML file in myCourses

After you create at least one Module or Unit/Lesson/Folder in your course, you can add an HTML file to it. Creating a new HTML file allows you to edit content directly within your course without downloading it. This is a useful option for creating your syllabus because you will be easily able to edit the file directly in your course without downloading or uploading multiple versions.

For information on using templates with your HTML files, see Use Content Templates in myCourses.

While this resource is accessible worldwide, McGill University is on land which has served and continues to serve as a site of meeting and exchange amongst Indigenous peoples, including the Haudenosaunee and Anishinabeg nations. Teaching and Learning Services acknowledges and thanks the diverse Indigenous peoples whose footsteps mark this territory on which peoples of the world now gather. This land acknowledgment is shared as a starting point to provide context for further learning and action.
