Link to CNOWv2 Activities and Resources

After setting up your CNOWv2 course, create links from Brightspace® to activities or other content in CNOWv2. Linked graded activities are included in the Brightspace gradebook unless you choose to exclude them.

Note Category scores can not be synced to Brightspace.

Before adding links to CNOWv2 activities, make sure your CNOWv2 course is set up the way you want it.

  • Add and organize the assigned activities and course materials for your CNOWv2 course.
  • Configure assignment settings such as grading, attempts, feedback, time limits, due dates, point values, and grade categories.
Best Practice Use consistent assignment settings and a consistent schedule for due dates and times.

Links created in this way are sometimes called deep links because they are not just web links but allow data to be exchanged between Brightspace and CNOWv2.

  1. Open your Brightspace course.
  2. Click the Content tab.
  3. In your module, click Add Existing Activities > Cengage.

    The Cengage tool may be named differently for your school. Ask your LMS Admin if you are unsure.

    If you do not see the Cengage tool, try this instead.

    1. Click Related Tools > Course Builder.
    2. Drag New Cengage Learning from Add Content to your module.
  4. Click Select Content and select activities to include in your class.

    If needed, change gradebook syncing for specific activities.

  5. Click Continue.

The content page displays all the links you have added to your CNOWv2 course and activities.

If needed, you can reorganize the links in Brightspace.
