Overview of Cross-Listed Sections

FSU's Simple Syllabus site uses a section-level LTI with Canvas. With a section level LTI configuration, students enrolled in a cross-listed/merged course will always see the section's syllabus for their specific enrollment within Canvas. This configuration is ideal for institutions that wish to place priority on the student experience in Canvas, ensuring each student receives the syllabus specific for their exact enrollment when syllabus content may differ across sections in a cross-listed course.
