How Students Access their LabArchives Notebook 

If your LabArchives course is linked to Canvas, students will click through a Canvas assignment to access their LabArchives Notebook. Students do not need to create an account at the LabArchives website. Once they click one of your linked assignments in Canvas, an account and notebook will be generated for them. They will also be added to your course in the LabArchives Course Manager
