  2. Click Modules in the course navigation.

  3. Locate or create the module that will contain your activity links.

    The Cengage tool might not be available in both of the following locations depending on your Canvas admin's settings.

    more options next to +Assignment in Canvas
  4. Click Select Content and select activities to include in your class.
    A selected activity is labeled "This activity is imported in your LMS" and a warning message says "You are about to re-import already existing assignments."

    Graded activities that have already been added are marked This activity is imported in your LMS. To avoid duplicate activity links and gradebook columns, do not import the same activity twice.

    If needed, change gradebook syncing for specific activities.

    By default, when you include a graded activity it is added to the Schoology gradebook.

    To remove an activity from the gradebook, clear Add to Gradebook.

    To sync an activity to the gradebook without creating an activity link, first select Add to Gradebook and then clear the Add to Course checkbox on the left.

  5. Click Continue.

  6. If needed, click Add Item.

The selected activity links are added to the module.

If needed, you can reorganize the links in Canvas.
