Canvas/Elentra + Course Textbooks

Canvas/Elentra

Canvas is the main learning platform used at ECU. A variety of resources are available to help you utilize Canvas for your courses, including faculty-led sessions, recorded sessions, and one-on-one consultations. Take advantage of the tools to get the most out of Canvas for you and your students.  

 Some faculty in the Brody School of Medicine may use the Elentra learning platform. If this applies to you, use the training opportunities and information available HERE to get started! 

Course Textbooks

Check with your unit chair about textbooks or other materials that might be required for your courses. Some units choose to use the same book for all sections of a certain course. For other courses, the materials will depend on the professor’s preferences. Be sure to ask your chair if there is a specific text you should use. If you need to submit a textbook and material adoption for your course, visit SOC Dowdy Bookstore and go to “Faculty Resources” at the bottom to get started.  

Some units choose to use the same textbooks for all sections of a course, so check with your unit chair to see if your assigned classes have required textbooks. If your department has not ordered textbooks or assigned a textbook, you can choose the course resources based on your preferences as the professor. 

 At ECU, the Adoption & Insights Portal (AIP) is used to adopt textbooks for your courses. AIP is a web-based platform built exclusively for faculty and department administrators that enables them to research and adopt course materials in one convenient place.
