Add Textbooks and Materials

Simple Syllabus makes it easy to add text and materials using the required syllabus element: Textbooks(s), Other Readings, and Materials.

Although many of the fields in this template component are likely geared toward textbooks, you are still able to add non-textbook supplies. This article lists instructions and gives examples of how to add a textbook, no textbook, and non-textbook.
