Writable works with cross-listed classes in Canvas, allowing teachers to manage writing assignments across multiple sections from one central course. When classes are cross-listed, you can assign, review, and grade student work in Writable without needing to switch between sections. Grades and feedback sync back to the Canvas gradebook for each student, helping streamline your workflow while keeping everything organized within your Canvas course.

  1. Log into your Canvas account.

  2. Navigate to your Canvas Dashboard, and click on the cross-listed course.

  3. Click on the ‘Writable’ link located in the left navigation menu. This will import the roster for the cross-listed course.

  4. Click on 'Classes' in the top green banner to view the ‘My Classes’ section in Writable.

  5. Find your class and click on it to view the roster.

  6. You should see all students from your cross-listed sections listed within your course. In the example shown in the images below, students from English 11 Periods 1, 2, and 3 all appear together in a single roster.

  7. Now you’re ready to assign work to your class. Any assignment you create will be available to all students across your cross-listed sections.
