Create a New LMS-Integrated CNOWv2 Course

If your LTI 1.0 LMS is not otherwise specified, the following steps apply to any LTI 1.0 compliant LMS. If you have not created the CNOWv2 course you want to integrate with your LMS, create it from your LMS.

Before you begin, your LMS administrator must have set up the Cengage tool in your LMS, and you must have received an email from Cengage containing a Cengage Course URL.

  1. Create a link to the Cengage tool.
    You only have to do this once.
    1. Navigate to your external tools.

      Third party content like Cengage is listed as an external tool or app in your LMS.

    2. Click the Cengage link.

      This might be named Cengage or MindLinks. If you are not sure, ask your LMS admin.

    3. In the URL field, paste the Cengage Course URL from your email.
    4. Click Save.
  2. Click the link you created.
  3. If prompted, sign in to your Cengage instructor account to link your LMS and Cengage accounts.

    If you don't have a Cengage instructor account, click Create Account.
