Integrate CNOWv2 With Your LMS Course

Your LMS administrator must have set up the Cengage tool in LMS.

With this integration:

  • You and your students access your CNOWv2 courses from LMS.
  • You can sync your students' grades for CNOWv2 activities to LMS.
  • You can sync your students' overall grades for the CNOWv2 course to LMS.
Best Practice To help your students, use clear and consistent naming for your courses and sections in both LMS and CNOWv2. This is especially important if you integrate more than one CNOWv2 section from the same LMS course.

How do I know if I'm using this integration?

Your Cengage tool will be in a different location depending on which integration you are using.

These instructions are for an older version of the integration which uses a Cengage navigation item in your course navigation. If you have a Cengage navigation item that works, you are using this integration.

Google Classroom Versions

How you add CNOWv2 content to your Google Classroom depends on if your school uses the free or paid version of Google Classroom.

To see which version your school uses, open the assignment editor and look for the Add-ons panel.
  • If your assignment has Add-ons, your school uses the paid version.
  • If your assignment does not have Add-ons, your school uses the free version.

Multisection Courses

LMS sections must be created and linked before you begin integrating CNOWv2 courses. LMS permits section linking when enabled by your school or district administrator.

Each LMS section will be linked to a CNOWv2 course.

  1. Create your multisection LMS course.
  2. Link your first LMS section to a new CNOWv2 course.
    1. Create a New LMS-Integrated CNOWv2 Course
    2. Add Links in LMS to CNOWv2 Activities and Resources
  3. Set up your CNOWv2 course.

    Finish setting up your course before copying it over to the rest of your LMS sections, so you only have to make these changes once.

  4. In your LMS section, click the Cengage link you just created.
    Cengage opens in a new tab.
  5. In LMS, open the next section and click the Cengage link.
    The Cengage course linking page opens in a new tab.
  6. Link the LMS section to a copy of your CNOWv2 course.
    1. Copy a CNOWv2 Course to a New LMS Course
    2. Add Links in LMS to CNOWv2 Activities and Resources
  7. Repeat this process for each section in your LMS course.
